It's not so much that no other company is buying international rights all over the world, it's that a bunch of different companies in each country are buying/licensing media rights from copyright holders. Crave, Shomi, and Netflix Canada would be local examples. Crave and Shomi wouldn't buy global rights to any media content, because their business model isn't to deliver media to users all over the globe. They deliver content to Canadian consumers who already subscribe to the TV and ISP offerings of their parent companies.
