I think if any of those had paid app stores with extortionate rates charged to developers, then yes - there is a pro-consumer argument to be made in favor of allowing third party applications from other sources.

Roku in fact does extort streaming services providers and they have to make rev share deals just to be on their platform - except for Netflix.

Streaming services can be on iOS platforms without giving Apple a dime.
