Why is Netflix removing unannounced anime?

I wanted to hear your "theories" on why Netflix is suddenly removing so many animes without having announced that they will be removed.

For those who didn't know, 15 anime titles have been removed from Netflix (without notice!). In addition, 13 animes will be removed from Netflix on September 30th. There have never been so many before. It is noteworthy that the publisher of all animes (except for 2 titles) is Kazé.

My question is, do you think that's funny either. I don't think anything like this has ever happened before and it's not just because the anime's license has expired, as newer titles have also been removed (e.g. MHA). Somehow I have the assumption that Kazé and Netflix did not get along with each other and accordingly a large number of titles were / will be removed by the publisher at once. I think that Kazé would like to push Anime on Demand and Crunchyroll.

Here are the links in case you want to know which animes they are:

With the last link you have to note that this article existed before and that the publisher Peppermint Anime is. The rest is from Kazé.

But hasn't that always been the case? That never happened, did it? And besides, there are suddenly so many that have been removed. That has never happened before.

Licenses have expired and other things we don't publicly know
Crunchyroll is owned by Kazé.

Nope wasn't always like that

That has never happened before.

is just like that when several expire

When the licenses expire you don't have to announce it.

But many animes keep coming back. The anime Durarara, for example, has already disappeared from Netflix twice and has now appeared for the third time because they renewed the license.

I really believe that a lot of the licenses have just expired. As someone mentioned here, most of them come back. It was the same with assassination classroom. It's a shame, but every license expires. They may renew the license. Wait and see ^^

So of course the licenses have expired. However, I doubt that said titles will come back.
