I think the issue is the uninformed/unengaged and that a sizeable number of doctor’s offices and such have Fox News blaring in the waiting rooms. Sure, articles like this are low hanging fruit but it’s not just crazies being exposed to these falsehoods.

Matt Damon goes into this in an interview on Hot Ones, apparently in the past what you mention wasn’t as much of an issue due to the home market with DVD sales. But streaming doesn’t give that same return on investment, I think because the movie makers just get money from streaming services buying the rights and maybe some residuals, so theater profit is the main focus.
