Slight click-bait title: Disney, Netflix and Prime come installed (for now) but if you want to install any other streaming service you need a Samsung account.

This might not be news for everyone and this is not true for older models, the roll-out of this "feature" has been mixed, but for most (all?) 2023 models this is true.

Posting this because it's something I wish I knew, it's going to be a hassle to return my new 85 inch tv!
