Great, more vendor specific keys that absolutely nobody needs.
I kinda see your point, but a huge number of people have a subscription to at least one streaming service, so those buttons are a useful feature for a lot of people.
Unlikely all 4 though. Give people 1-2 they can map services two, instead of multiple wasted (branded) buttons.
Most consumers want their device to work right out of the box, mapping buttons isn’t something most of the population wants to deal with.
Don’t give them excuses, mate.
Map them during initial setup.
Please choose a service you would like to use and we will help you log in.
You have x buttons that are available to use as a shortcut to the service. Please press the button you would like to use, or press enter to skip this step.
But then you have to remember which one is which. The ones in your example are already labelled.
You work in their marketing department, don’t you?
The scenario I mentioned would have the buttons simply labeled with a number/letter. 95% of the time I don’t even look on the remote to use a button. Also, if you hit the wrong button, no big deal, you just the other/s.
Like I mentioned, stop giving them excuses.
Nobody will remember that. Too complicated for Grandma.
Label the remappable button STREAMING SERVICE or something, I don’t know.
There’s a lot of people in this thread who’ve never had to be tech support for elderly relatives.
Grandma doesn’t know what a streaming is.

I can’t believe this came before Samsung letting you reprogram your Bixby key.
Shit, even Apple lets you reprogram the Action Button, insofar as you can program anything on iOS (which isn’t nothing, Shortcuts scripting can be pretty detailed).
I used to have my car commands (AC, location, seat heaters, etc) on a shortcut. It was stacked shortcuts calling APIs and passing tokens and storing these for later use to reuse the same token.
