Buried in the Rolling Stone article it notes that it was FX CEO John Landgraf who came up with the term. I believe that at various TCAs over the years he's presented charts that detail the ever increasing number of original TV series that are being made - and I think he just considers US productions!
Even without Covid, the numbers will have to settle down at some point. But we're still in the "invest to drive uptake" moment. Quibi may have died but most of the other streamers are backed by big corporations who will lose money on them for the foreseeable future. That's a bit different to the old "licence to print money" TV model of yesteryear...
