It doesn't matter if Roku goes away. Their servers hold no content to these channels. You create an account with each paid service and can stream directly if you like to a device, or cast to your TV, or use the Roku streaming device. You don't create an account for a free service, some may have a website where you can stream without creating an account.
The advantage of any streaming device like Roku or Chromecast is that they aggregate free/paid channels that you can select from. They provide you a way (just like a cable provider) to select services and can choose to watch from those you want to use/pay for. Unlike cable, what you pay for is your choice.
