I completely agree, but I am also follow the school that you shouldn't spend energy on something you can't control or stop. Instead you should focus on things that you can readily change to mitigate the problem, or even make it go away.
If you wanted just what they have right now, you'd pay $10/mo for released movies and DVD releases of TV shows streamed. If you wanted just TV shows including recently aired, you'd pay $15/mo. To get those released DVDs mailed would cost $25/mo, and to get it all you'd be paying $40/mo.
If you think about a music subscription service, you'd basically paying the cost of 1 album per month for songs you're going to be listening to over and over. With this structure of Netflix, you'd be paying for two DVDs per month but movies are generally only watched once or twice.
Cable services provide unbelievable horrible services (locally it's $25/mo to rent a PVR that supports DNLA but it is software disabled so you have to rent a PVR for each TV!)
