You're assuming discord or twitch actually care. I doubt they actually do. It's there to preempt the regulatory hammer, and the presence of clunky workarounds like this doesn't affect it if it doesn't reach the mainstream. If it does, they can just patch it.

the hammer of the gov't works slowly, but such bypasses will eventually be worked around - it doesn't matter if twitch/discord/etc actually care or not, because their care is irrelevant.

i suspect that mainstream would eventually find it - like how VPNs suddenly became very popular in the UK.
