Since there wouldn’t be any cost associated with getting rights for streaming, why can’t I boot up Nosferatu on whatever platform I happen to be on? To me it seems like the cheapest, easiest thing to do to upload a collection of the most famous public domain movies as a matter of course when setting up a streamer. Is there a specific reason why it mostly isn’t done?

I did a quick search of this. Found some Charlie Chapman movies for free online and didn’t recognize anything else.
I think if it costs money to host but isn’t going to pull anyone in then it’s a loss, regardless of acquisition costs. And if everyone can get it than it’s even less effective at bringing people to your platform.
