Ask HN: Why don't streaming services make use of P2P?

Wouldn't this drastically reduce their bandwidth costs? I would imagine the majority of people streaming HD/4K Netflix don't have bandwidth caps to worry about, so it wouldn't be very noticeable to the end user and be largely beneficial to the streaming service. Why isn't this more common?
