It's easier to torrent stuff than to get 4K in Netflix on Linux.

Can't even get 4K on most streaming services on macOS now... It's not just Linux anymore.

Netflix lets you in Safari[1]; Disney+ limits you to 1080p[2]; and Hulu limits you to 720p[3].

Even the 4K you get can hardly be considered 4K, awful bitrate.

Too bad most people are okay with this so it's never gonna change.

If people were not okay with it, it still wouldn’t change anything unless there was competition. There’s no incentive.

Apple tv is quite a bit better than the other streaming services. If people truly cared they would either watch blu-rays or Apple tv. But few actually care.
