You're really trying to make this more complicated than it is. Should they just call it NASA? NASA Streaming? NASA VOD?

It's just a catchy name.

ok, so the word "plus" is used to indicate that it is a streaming service. Got it

Sure, why not. That's all it means in the context of Disney+.

From their generic FAQ:

What is Disney+?

Disney+ is the streaming home for entertainment from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic.

from my limited perspective, the word "plus" is to indicate the rest studios/companies that are included in the Disney (parent) company

That's actually what it has kinda came to mean. Lots of Streaming services are called "Plus", even if they don't have a separate non-free version.
