The $22 billion deal marks a major strategic pivot for Fox, moving it beyond content production into the infrastructure of streaming. By owning the Roku OS, Fox can prioritize its own ad-supported services (like Tubi) and gain valuable first-party viewer data. Netflix's decision to pass on the deal is being viewed by some as 'financial discipline,' avoiding the low-margin hardware business of Roku players.
