Why does NBC make it so difficult to watch the Olympics?

Find yourself a canadian VPN endpoint and check out the CBC coverage (website or "Gem" app). It's pretty complete and much more accessible.

We also watch on the CBC Gem Apple TV app. It seems to have everything we want... live events, replay events, "PrimeTime" coverage where they switch between popular events with commentators. We even watched USA vs ROC men's indoor volleyball last night. There were no commentators, just the live feed of the match. It was odd to listen to an empty gym with no commentary but at least we were able to watch.

FWIW, Amazon Prime Video in Canada also has the CBC coverage for free. Not quite sure what the value add is though.

23 hours a day! And lots of live - of that's the middle of the night in USA/Canada
