Some of these switch remotes can be added to a Harmony remote activity, which helps. Or for people using an AV receiver, you often have up to eight HDMI inputs on that.
I share your love of devices, but don't have as many as you do, even though seven of the eight HDMI inputs on my AV receiver are occupied

Everyone feels the same way, though not necessarily in regard to Tvio, which you can understand why potentially competing services may not be added.
But look at the Roku box; in the US it has both Netflix and Amazon Prime. Why isn't Amazon Prime on the UK Roku box? Maybe ask Sky, who are one of the investors in Roku.
Netflix was already on the Roku box when Sky invested, so there was probably nothing Sky could do about Netflix, and at that time, Video was not a part of UK Amazon Prime.
