a lot of film studios and production companies are also going this way. the tv people just figured out that they were financing someone else's business without equity.

also, to be fair - tv cue composers had made a habit of submitting the same cue dozens of times under different names to shows - everyone I know who writes for TV does this - it was only a matter of time before the networks and tv producers/studios figured out how to do this for themselves.

of course, this is different from actual show composers who write to picture and are part of the staff of the show - all of the above is for incidental cues - deep background and generic instrumental stuff...

It's a free open market. Someone is still making music for that music library, and/or making music when they don't have something pre-exisiting that fits - try to be that person.
