I think it would be reasonable to take the view that if the streaming services advertised as being on there break after five years, the item was not fit for purpose.

The ability to compel a manufacturer, presumably based abroad as we don't make anything in this country, to adhere to such an arbitrary requirement simply does not exist. The retailer perhaps, but they are just a middleman so why should they suffer?
Arbitrary requirement? Come off it! I could see you being well pleased if any expensive device you bought stopped working within five years!

Any trade deal will cover standards expected of manufactured goods. This is no different.
