Don't the majority of people still watch TV on their TV? I don't care if their service runs on my computer because it's confirmed they will have an app for PS4, which is how I already watch Netflix and Hulu.

I know there are people out there who refuse to run any non-free software anywhere, and it is a good thing they exist, but I would guess that the majority of people who have Linux on their laptop are willing to use a Fire Stick or their TV's builtin OS or whatever to stream TV and movies.

It works fine on Android.

Optimizing how?

Disney is focusing on traditional popular consumer markets.

Linux doesn't have a large enough number of users for their consumer-focused video streaming service at this time.

They'll probably move down-market after nailing the experience on the first few platforms.

side note - I love the number of comments about piracy as the other option, as if Disney is reading this page - or cares much about a small market (linux consumer-users)

Focusing their attention on the platforms that are most critical at first launch, I'd guess.
