Every individual (consumer) is different and has different preferences. I prefer to watch tv series in a kind of marathon.
And like I said, it's not just about changing the discs. It's also about having to change the settings every time. About having to sit through an annoying video of a guy telling me not to steal (" hey, I just bought the damn thing, why the hell are you telling me?!") etc It's about convenience.

When I buy a whole season through my cable provider, I actually pay more than I would if I bought the DVD. The whole point here is that I as a consumer already pay more for something that I like (convenience). If Warner makes me wait longer before I can buy the type of product that I am willing to pay for (: being able to rent the content through my cable provider), I do end up doing something else. Like reading a book or watching something else.
Yes, Warner owns their content. But I as a consumer, own my money. They decide how to release their products. I decide how and when I spend my money. I don't go to theaters and I don't like DVDs. Will I suddenly start going to theaters and start buying loads of DVDs simply because Warner makes me wait x number of months before I can buy their product through a sales channel that I prefer to use? No, during those x months, I spend my money on other products (movies and series I can rent through my cable provider) or I do something else.
