But what is actually new on perusal of the terms is a whole “Informal Dispute Resolution” section. This requires anyone with legal complaints to take them to Roku lawyers first

Yeah, that's not a material change. As per the article, anyone using a Roku device apparently has already agreed to the regular arbitration part. This change is likely to be no more or less legally enforceable. If you want to get upset at something, get upset that you've been using something without reading the terms (and, of course, that they're putting these terms in, in the first place).
