Why do publishers not offer end-users the right to transfer games from one service to another? That would allow new platforms to compete.

I can understand that established services like Steam oppose the transfer of licenses. But why don't the less established services remove the fear of losing access by making the licenses transferable among themselves? This must be prevented by the publishers. What's their benefit?
