The run on nature of that sentence is unfortunately the least of its transgressions.
That said, I don't have space or power in the location where my TV is located for anything larger than a Nintendo switch dock. It needs to be silent, low profile, low power.
Roku gives me all that plus it's 60 frames UHD and HDR. It's about the size of a slice of bread and capable of decoding most of the things I throw at it, unfortunately It's a bit picky about 4K streams.
My grown ass PC is in the basement in a rack, It has a 2070 in it but it's old enough that it can't quite keep up with 4K live encoding.
So now to be woke I need a real, silent PC to fit in a tiny space. Then I still have to deal with some kind of remote. Most of the options out there honestly don't look great.
