The problem with open source TV solutions like that is that they never support legal streaming platforms like Netflix, Disney+ and so on.

I'm failing to see a problem with that.
Savage, but accurate.

But I argue for these projects to have a long tail, they need revenue.

A few have tried by selling hardware, but it never lands mainstream enough.

Live sports / tv is the one you can't really work around when your device doesn't have DRM support.
I think you got that backwards.
