This is a problem with anime as a lot of older series and dubs have had their licenses expire and the services didn’t renew them. Coupled with the fact that the media is out of print (if there was any to begin with) and series are lost to the void.

I’ve started ripping all of my discs so that I have my own “Netflix”. It’s time consuming, but they can never take it away from me.
