Streamers were mostly shut out of Chinese market, didnt want to lose only other 1.5 billion population market too. Many movies/serials produced/part-produced then shut down. This would've contributed to losses in their results of FY19-22 period. Now only making stuff which passes what the govt wants. This will become the rule globally if it hasn't already.

Prediction: Production benefits for shoots in countries in future will also likely involve govt clearances of how locals/country is being depicted in the story.
Play it safe. Pander. Take profits. Don't get jailed/boycotted.
