Apple has a diversified business model where most of their money is coming from selling hardware and the app store. That plus their cash on hand probably means Apple+ can thrive without subscriber or advertising pressures. Same with Amazon and to a lesser extent D+.

Amazon has always been willing to keep throwing large amounts of money at things that don't make them a profit for many years until finally they do. The only times it hasn't worked for them is the smart-speakers and Amazon games.
