I Don’t think consumers should have to put up with this.
Surely it's the fault of the streamer for updating something within their delivery to a way that is incompatible with existing hardware?

It'd make more sense to impose a fine or levy on streaming services that don't maintain minimum standards to accommodate the vast, vast, majority of hardware in the market.

The Netflix app is ultimately Netflix software, be it on an iPad, a Sony TV or a Fire Stick. You wouldn't penalise a PC manufacturer because Microsoft stopped updating an old version of Windows.
