Live sports are all going to go to streamers and away from legacy media. It is the one thing missing from their services that will retain subscribers. I stayed with Showtime at some points only for the boxing.

I understand what you are saying. For me, the streaming services that I couldn't do without are FloSports and DirtVision because they heavily broadcast dirt track races from around the country. I like F1, but I am not willing to subscribe to another streaming service to watch their races when there are other forms of racing that I am more passionate about.
I get it that Apple paid F1 what they wanted for broadcast rights, but F1 is reducing the number of Americans with access to their product. That being said, maybe the number of potential viewers did not factor into the equation at all.
