Insert Cory Doctorow rant about Youtube TV's DRM being more about controlling this kind of content access and app usage than it is about protecting against privacy.
Neither Youtube nor Roku should have the final say in whether or not I connect to my own Youtube TV account from a Roku device. In a worst-case scenario, a 3rd-party client could be created and distributed by either Roku or by Roku's users (see projects like NewPipe on Android). But with Youtube TV, building that app would require breaking DRM, which would kill the project if it ever got any bigger than being someone's side-hobby.
