It was a lot of work and hassle for VUDU to incorporate Flixter and UV codes into their system. Flixter, UV, and VUDU didn't have to do all that work. Flixter and UV could have left their users out to dry. But they did the work to complete the migration. To this date, old UltraViolet and Flixter codes that are not Warner Bros still work on VUDU.

It is that bloody simple. Unless there's enough backlash or someone with the rights is willing to take over. Then you're screwed. Look at how many video games you can't play anymore because the servers are gone. You own nothing. And. You. Will. Like. It.

Witness for the Prosecution is the best court drama ever.
Several Jack Lemmon classics.
The Misfits is my favorite Clark Gable movie (the only one he actually acts in).

1, No risk of damages
2, Doesn't have space to hold 100s of physical media as I have 900+ movies in my itunes collection.
At the time, I believe Flixter was second or third. UltraViolet was smaller. I know all they had to do was submit a complete database of digital codes to VUDU so that you can redeem Flixter and UV codes on VUDU.
I did google, and Sony reversed the removal of Discovery content. The consumers can never own the content. You get the right to watch the content anytime you want, removing the content would deny you that right. I'm no lawyer but I'm sure there is legal repercussions when Flixter and UV just disappear.
It's not a purchase. It's a rental with no defined end date. You will own nothing and like it.

Couldn't download it. Couldn't stream it. And it was a very long time before it came back. If you didn't have it downloaded prior to this then you were out of luck.
Imagine paying $20, $30, $40 to "purchase" a movie and then being told "well sucks to be you, rights holder said pull it"
I eventually got a refund after complaining to customer support for it but after that it left a terrible taste in my mouth. I will never again purchase anything digital.
Sony recently announced that due to a rights dispute with discovery they were going to do the same thing that Amazon did only they announced that they were going to go a step further and delete downloaded copies.
They eventually backed off after backlash. But you should never trust that your digital library is safe from a company being a dick.

Also, the studios and digital platform made a mutually beneficial business agreement. Some people buy the physical media to get the digital copy and vice versa. I can name quite a few TV series which the digital isn't for sale from VUDU or iTunes, only available from digital code included in the physical media. Studios have to reimburse VUDU or iTunes whenever someone redeem the digital code included in the physical media. That's why Warner Bros decided to hard expire the MA codes because that's pure profit in accounting. The other studios that decided not to expire the digital code has to set aside money in case the digital code gets redeemed. I was told that VUDU and iTunes pay studios some money to get their product included in the physical media, and they get reimbursed a lot more when someone redeems the code. In a way, they are banking on getting some revenue from physical media sale.
There is this guy on Reddit who purchased 14,000 movies on VUDU. I don't think he has time to watch everything. If VUDU decides to disappear, I'm sure the guy would want to sue to get his money back.
Again, I don't think VUDU or iTunes can simply disappear without transferring people's paid libraries to another platform.
