The Telly comes with a second screen for ads that you're not allowed to shut off. https://www.telly.com/

Is that not most if not all smart TVs today? Basically nearly every TV made and sold right now?

I think you just described American cable boxes... Except they charge us a monthly fee and an additional monthly fee for the box.
Or any smart tv with free ip tv.

Video service does work like that. They call it DRM.
Then I would not use it because it does not work the way I want it to work...
But if that is the service they are making and they are clear about what it is when you sign up... That does not make it illegal.
I can see why people think they should be entitled to do this, but it does not align with how they are selling the service or how many other companies sell services. In most situations you don't get unlimited access to the individual components of how a service works (the API), you are expected to use the service (in this case Claude Code) directly.
