>Video on demand, which supports any framerates

I don't think so, majority of displays are still 60Hz without VRR.

But the playback box handles the conversion. With TV there were stricter standards for broadcasts.

A lot of TV displays are now even 120Hz, which is convenient for being able to display 24fps, 30fps, and 60fps content without any conversion

I think they mean the VOD service doesn't restrict the creator on what frame rates they can author their content in, the box just makes it work for whatever the display requires.

Displays will often sync at lower frame rates than their maximum, though I guess I don’t know if they all do non integer factors.
