An online TV service is any streaming or smart TV service, website or app that lets you watch TV programmes over the internet. This includes services like All 4, Sky Go, Now TV, BBC iPlayer, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube and ITV Hub"

Here they say you don't need it.

Do I need a TV licence to watch Netflix, Amazon Prime or Disney Plus?
No. With the exception of BBC iPlayer content, you only need a licence for watching or recording content as it is broadcast on TV. If you’re streaming on-demand movies or TV shows on Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus, Netflix or YouTube (or any other online video service) you don't currently need a licence.

Seems kinda silly too to ask a license fee for them, and then not giving them a cut. Nor would the BBC/UK gov want to be sued by the likes of Google and Amazon for a cut if they do indeed start charging for them.

I imagine it's because it's a legal requirment / tax for UK citizens and how it's legally defined, companies can't really ask for a cut lest they get threatened with a ban for operating certain features, which would make em lose more money than they gain by ignoring it and leaving it to the individual consumer to sort it out.
