Then what does cable TV have a monopoly on?

the monopoly is on the content, now

Content isn't a monopoly. Content competes with other content. The same way content creators have been competing forever.

I didn't realize I could watch every show on every streaming platform. That is welcome news.

You can as much as you can buy every car from every car manufacturer. That’s not how a monopoly is defined.
