Just having an account with them means they can call you a

Yes, which for Disney+ means that you have to actually pay
something to them (a subscription fee) as there is no free
content!

 Nope. Once you've registered then you count as a subscriber, including if you're on a free 12 month subscription given away by your mobile phone provider. Even if you never pay Disney anything every again they still count you as a subscriber.

Hmm!! Isn't English a wonderful language .... where "subscriber" means you don't have to pay a brass razzo!!

Plus, their figures would never go down, and Disney have
often said their subscription numbers declined in Q1 or Q3
etc... Much

Hmm!! This would explain why I still get messages from some "Business" mob telling me people are looking at my Profile .... even though I closed the account many years ago!!

Based on people I've spoken to, IRL. People [generally] don't

Why would you expect a big corporation to show YOU their

 Why would they show them to the tax man then? You've just discredited your previous paragraph.
 

their accounts would certainly need to be audited and tax
returns filed with the IRS, (etc.) Their accounts would not be a

WHAT?? "An independent auditor" does the figures ..... and your IRS just accepts those figures!!
Sure they do!!

financial vacuum, but there's no reason why YOU would need to
know about their income and expenditure.

 There's no reason for the tax man to know it either. All you put on your tax return is you profit deceleration for they year, and it doesn't even have to be the actual profit you make in that year since you can carry it over to the next year or even pass it back to the year before.
