I think the fact that regular stores are now stocking high-seas set top boxes is more proof that streaming is too overpriced now and media companies are too greedy.

I don't think they're stocking these boxes. A lot of retailers let anyone list products on their website - just as Amazon allows third party sellers to list products. The one I found on BestBuy's website says "Sold & shipped by Evolution Blazed Inc"

Back in the heyday of torrents and burnable optical disks, retail DVD players could usually play random video files procured from the high seas.
