I believe one reason maybe that the software is so garbage it can’t handle not being able to submit all its logging information when otherwise the system thinks it’s online.

This is the case with Rokus as well. If you also redirect or block the hard coded DNS (Google) from bypassing your local DNS it starts to get extremely sluggish over time... presumably from background processes repeatedly resending requests out.

That makes perfect sense and explains why you can't fix it just by bypassing blocking temporarily and reinstalling the app.
