An interesting point of departure...
Now consider what value there might be in a properly designed OTA
infrastructure with broad support in terms of new services and
receivers.
Ot to turn the analogy around a bit.
How effective would those fire trucks at the airport be if you had to
hook up the horses to pull the pumper out to the runway, and several
strong guys had to operate the manual pump?
Just because there is 'some" value left in the legacy OTA business
proposition, does not mean that there are not other propositions that
would serve the same purpose AND provide new services that would
support a robust market around the system.

Perhaps the better question to ask, is why we cannot have a free to
air, advertiser supported, multi-channel system here in the U.S. that
parallels what is happening in Europe. And it is important to note
that this DOES NOT preclude the new service being used to deliver
bits that are paid for.
