This is certainly yet another sign of the end of the golden age of television. We're drifting back to a world where everything is consolidated into a handful of corporate entities (not too unlike the big 3 networks), and where drone-like execs make all the decisions and override anything not mainstream enough.

Yup!

We’re about to come full circle but likely without the opportunity to ‘own’ any of the content we want to re-watch. No more releases on VHS, DVD or even digital (e.g, iTunes).

This has been a long time coming. Television shows are going to be just like SaaS (Software as a Service). Monthly fees to access what they want us to view not necessarily what we want to see.
