As some old gaming dude once said "Piracy is almost always a service problem" ,

So true!

Show me a steam or gog equivalent (ie just a platform that is not outright hostile to consumers) to buying movies and tv shows and my money is yours.

Dropout and Nebula both stream pretty well from locked down Android, without unreasonable permissions, at least.

Neither is at feature parity with Steam, by any means.
