Because it's all there.... U just search for it.

Hulu is nothing like YouTube TV or Direct TV. These two are the most like cable or satellite was.. just streaming. Where you will find typical channels you are used to like ESPN, CNN, networks, PBS, Bravo, weather, etc.

Services like Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO Max etc are more of a way to see lots of movies and older TV Series. Each has original programming too.

I want to experiment more with staggering them out. Since they don't have contracts you can cancel whenever you want. Read that you should catch up on all the original stuff and switch to another do the same then switch back Want to try maybe Peacock, Discovery +. For a while.
