I find Roku's search engine great for this scenario. Tells you which service and also if its free with membership, without membership, or paid per episode

This isn’t really that hard on Apple TV though. Siri has universal search and will show media and punch out to the right app.

The Pirate Bay has all the seasons. Even with the hassle of starting my VPN, downloading, making sure it's in the right format, dealing with subtitles (looking at you, Better Call Saul), piracy is a better experience than fragmented streaming.

Only to a geek. I much rather just pay money and juggle the streaming services. I had a Mac Mini running Front Row connected to a TV back in 2005 and then graduated to Plex until 2020. It’s really not worth it when both the AppleTV and Roku have universal search.

Clicking a mirror link sounds less difficult than this. If you're going through the trouble of setting up some system its going to as simple to type in a show name and click a link... Even to a non geek.
Want to watch the new season on x? Oh even though HBO has all the old seasons, the new season is on another service.
Want to watch x movie you saw on netflix two months ago? Netflix doesnt have the rights anymore now and you'll have to dig through your streaming services to see where it landed or hope whatever, "Where is this streaming?" website you land on is accurate and up to date.
