Well didn't lookup Super Box but I assume it's less sketchy than you image.
It probably just pulls from something like https://github.com/iptv-org/iptv and so the provider of Super Box doesn't have to maintain pretty much anything or use any of their own bandwidth. So the $300 minus the cost of the hardware is the profit and they don't have real reoccurring costs.
I don't believe so. These boxes provide access to premium TV channels and live sports, not just public broadcasting.
On tiktok, "superboxes" get pushed but hard, for $2-300 a device.
Premium TV channels and live sports have publicly accessible IPTV streams, though. Undocumented != nonpublic.
The pirate IPTV industry has a pirating problem of its own
