you can't compare old VHS DVD market to digital one today. it's completely different with no physical formats. with digital media, unlimited copies can be made with no cost. there's no friction of having physical medium. youre also saying to go back to a system that completely failed.
even if small companies came about, they will have no budget if only a couple thousand copies are being sold and distributed for the whole community if sold at current prices. basic economics will just cause inflationary pressure and they'll raise the price to fit the demand too. you need large companies to make large productions.
having a small companies also means nobody has a security blanket. you'll be working in an industry where if your small studio produce a poor movie, your studio will fail and you're out of a job.
I think there's a middle ground. It's not all or nothing.
We can have million dollar studios without having a billion dollar studio.
