That's not what buying means or at least not the "buying" I am talking about. I mean I give some amount of money and I receive a download of the purchased material, free of DRM. There is no subscription involved. Like Steam (with no DRM) or GoG, but for movies and shows instead of games.

Music went through this many years ago.

iTunes would have drm'd music files. Amazon too, I think.

Then at some point it all became sane and I could buy an MP3 and download it.
