With either the Firestick or Google TV you can sideload the app if the company blocks it. There is no way to sideload an app on Roku.

I loved my Roku 4K stick right up until I decided to drop Xfinity and move to YouTube TV... Now I have Chromecast with Google TV and two 4K Roku sticks for sale
YouTube already did a workaround for the Roku issue by adding a link to YouTube TV through their regular YouTube app. This has been in place for a couple of weeks now.
