Yes but then these turn off, drop the content you were watching with little/no warning and are unreliable. Buy physical media while you can at least then you have a licence to watch it when you please until the media degrades. (Or better in the territories which allow for backing up across media formats)

I've never had a problem watching streaming stuff on Linux.

It might be changed? I remember back in 2020 when I wanted to watch something I was dual booting to windows, because Amazon was streaming at 720p and Netflix 1080p, so the only option to watch in a good resolution UHD was an OS that has a browser with a signed DRM system.

True, it's a problem that money solves. But frankly I'd rather keep the money as I'm content rewatching my favourite shows off disk.
