One thing I've not seen discussed, is this actually Sony's fault or are they not behest to the companies that hold the content rights to do this?
I've not looked into it much beyond comments so I don't have the answer myself.

Yes, it's Sony's fault.
Sony understands only one language... MONEY. I stopped buying their products since they installed a root kit decades ago in my computer to prevent it from ripping my legally bought CDs to my computer. I had to reinstall windows to get rid of that virus. Never again! And all my electronics were Sony back then
They do something similar on their smart TVs - it's not possible to run Kodi with torrent streaming plugins, they block it on purpose.
How is it blocked? Could you work around it with a debrid service? i.e no torrent protocol
I didn't further investigated it, however I remember that the Kodi remote app port worked, but the torrent streaming port (Elementum specifically) didn't.
While on the Xiaomi Mi Box S it worked.
