Today's news of a dedicated subscription app might change that. Before this, every time you wanted to stream a new game, you had to go through the PlayStation Store, sift through a handful of menus, pick something (much like you would to purchase a game) and then hope that it even launched the first try. A streaming app that minimizes menu fatigue and works along the lines of a Netflix (http://www.engadget.com/2015/04/15/netflix-q1-2015-earnings/) or Hulu (http://www.engadget.com/2014/10/03/hulu-plus-ios-update/) actually makes a lot of sense here.
