The only decent defence I know is DRM. Streaming companies are afraid of people ripping their 4K streams through hacked devices. They'd rather deprive their customer base of features than risk letting go of their strict requirements. I still see high res WEBDL torrents appearing online every time streaming services release new episodes, so whatever they're doing is clearly not working anyway.
For banking apps there may be a certain level of liability ascribed to the bank. depending on local jurisdiction, but I don't think banks need top of the line security to comply with those regulations; even if there is legislation, security only needs to be good enough so that basic rooted malware can't steal money.
I think the wording in the errors and warnings for broken apps say all. When an app doesn't work because the device is rooted, the messaging is usually "your device does not support X" or "your system does not meet the requirements" or "your device is not secured". It's never "you may have malware" or any other potentially helpful message; the wording always seems to punish the user for daring to modify the software on their phone.

Or maybe they are afraid that people will see that instead of 4k they get 720i scaled to 4k.
If they are so afraid of people ripping they could always insert a break in the stream and downgrade the quality, blaming internet connection.
