It would be nice if they would overcome the 720p/1080p limitation imposed by some stream services https://androidpcreview.com/netflix-hd-android-tv-box/
Alternative option for you. Drop streaming and set up Stremio with torrentio . Get a good vpn subscription as well. Highly recommend it.

My family can't live without Netflix algorithm showing on their face the new documentary or show of the week. I use Stremio, pretty good stuff.
Not possible, widevine L1 needs hardware-level DRM which depends on manufacturer support. So unless there are actual TVs / set top boxes being shipped with Plasma Bigscreen, we're SOL 🏴☠
