Would haiku be the best option for the next generation of kodi players, instead of things like Linux or Android?

Wasn’t beOS great for playing media or has the playing field been leveled over the decades?

IMO hardware driver support is the key to performance at every level, embedded to bigiron. OS architectures are important, though most supporting smaller devices are good enough for most media needs up to ~2K and 60fps.

Isn't Linux supposed to be getting PREEMPT_RT ("realtime patch") support any day now? That should bring us to full feature parity with BeOS/Haiku at least on the kernel side.
