Why so much downvotes. Streaming services doesn’t provide higher quality streams on linux distros, it’s common knowledge. Widevine L3 is supported by browser and that’s what running when someone streams netflix, disney+ or anything on a browser, firefox or chrome, in linux. Almost all streaming services provide 720p with Widevine L3. On the other hand, 1080p and higher are only available in widevine L1, which has to built into the kernal and certified by Google. Nobody should it’s working when the stream is 720p and even 480p sometimes.

And linux kernal WILL NOT BE DOING THAT. The OP doesn’t even blame linux for this, they explicitly say to blame streaming services.
