Any TV except the ones in most hotel rooms that lock down the HDMI input and the ones that don’t exist in most cars. Then you have the issue of the kids fighting over what to watch and wanting to watch video on their phones and tablets.

I use VLC on iOS to copy movies and shows to my iPad from a Windows share. Works perfectly fine.

In some ways it's better than Netflix/Amazon offline mode since I know my files will always work in VLC whereas I don't know ahead of time which streaming content allows offline mode or not.

Yes and the typical household is going to download movies from torrent sites and use VLC.
