Roku does have HBO Max. If you're interested in those other options listed, then Roku is not for you. There are a lot of people who have no idea what those things are though, and for them Roku is a much simpler and more stable interface than Google TV, Fire TV etc.
I don't use Roku myself, as I like to tinker, but for most of my extended family members who just want to watch their shows, I recommend Roku. The one app I wish it had is Channels DVR, as I've used that to replace expensive cable box rentals in some households that still have traditional cable.
Why are smart tvs in general still a thing? The lifecycle for the hardware needed to run roku or android os is much shorter than the life of the tv.
Just another thing to go obsolete.
It also has 4 HDMI inputs...

I have a 2.5 year old Vizio E series 70" and have non stop issues with the thing not turning on the arc not picking up sound needing constant power cycles
Man, why is Roku still a thing? Such basic, limited functionality
No:
HBO MAX
GeForce Now
Xbox Game Pass
BeeTV
Kodi
Emulators
Jailbreak/Sideload
And a flood of users who can't install prime video or Disney+ on TCL sets in Canada and the EU.
