PS5, Fire TV Cube, Samsung TVs are what i'd use it on. Those app stores.
I know android/ios has it nowadays, but manufacturers generally don't want to offer apps that do not drive referrals or some kind of revenue sharing with competing services.
These should help.
I can find github links to 3rd party clients dude to sideload. I know all about it.
What I don't want to do is support my extended friends and family who can figure out how to log into a plex tv app. I do enough tech support for money to not want to do it for free.
The amazon appstore one has limited support and it really depends on the device... and often many aspects do not work as expected, like you can't just play dolby vision files without forcing it to transcode on some hardware. I understand some of this is hardware limitations of various fire tv hardware, but again, don't want to figure that shit out.
Plus I would need to walk people through entering the network information, there's no web portal that will let people in just by logging into a single plain as day website last I checked. Sure, I could pay for a no-ip sub or something or actually start paying for a domain but all of this stuff is even more work, when my existing setup just works and has none of these problems and has yet to intrude on usability for what I already have. When it gets worse i'll obviously switch.
