ELI5: How can a company like Netflix charge less than $10/month to stream you literally thousands of shows, yet cable companies charge $50 /month and we still have to watch commercials?

Is the money going towards the individual channels? Is it a matter of infrastructure and the internet is cheaper? Is it greed?
