What's to prevent streaming services just underfunding projects to tick the boxes of getting the catalogue to 30%?
Producers can secure rights to a movie that in order to retain the rights, the must produce a film - of any quality. That's how 1994 version of Fantastic Four was made. A low budget B-movie to prevent the rights being transferred back to Stan Lee.

It was: but the actors (and possibly others) weren't told that. As Red Letter Media says in their review, it actually tries and has some competence... just no budget. http://redlettermedia.com/best-of-the-worst-supergirl-captain-america-1990-and-roger-cormans-fantastic-four/ (worth watching just to see the insanely bad Supergirl movie get torn to shreds).
This reminds me of "The Fantastic Four" movie first released in 1994. Done in about a month for a (relatively) meager budget by Roger Corman, the movie was rushed out solely to keep the option to make a bigger film in the future.
