Netflix also offers a subpar service on Linux for the same reason, the video resolution is limited to 720p, even with a Premium plan. The video quality can be tested on Netflix by searching for "test patterns" on the service.

The stream quality of HBO GO is consistently bad on Linux, with washed out colors.

I have no experience with Amazon Prime Video, but I've found several threads from 2019 with people complaining about the lack of 1080p streaming on Linux.

So even when Disney+ begins supporting Linux, you'll most likely get a subpar service for your money.

Netflix only supports 720p in Firefox and Google Chrome. I imagine that is why.
