I did all that sideloading on my first Firestick but haven't bothered with the subsequent ones as I could never find a decent enough feed to watch. It may be better on the newer 4K ones I now use but I'm sharing a pukka F1 sub on Virgin with someone.
Also gave access to a zillion film channels (incl mucky ones, I was led to believe) but as I don't watch films much it was lost on me.
So geographic relocation is my main use, with a VPN, though that has problems sometimes as they don't change their VPN server addresses often and the Beeb blocks them.
I also put some in my second and third tellies just cos I can. (Actually to see how well we'd cope with them as our main source if I were to cut the line to Virgin. The answer was they are adequate nut not great IMO, compared to Virgin TiVo).
