No, I get the point. The services are not equal in terms of catalogue depth. They're also not equal in terms of viewing volume.
If I used the DVD plan to fill those gaps, I would be annoyed too. But I don't, I only use streaming. I suspect the majority of users were either overwhelmingly streaming or overwhelmingly DVD oriented. The cost to fill the gaps for those users wasn't adequately covered by the $2, and since they were the minority, they put a wall between the services.
My point was, I still perceive $7.99 unlimited streaming as a great value for the product. Gaps and all.
