If it's #1, at some point you will come back from the bathroom.

When you do, there will be a moment in between when you can see the screen but haven't hit play yet. This is a prime ad opportunity.

If you are watching with others, they may wait for you while you go to the bathroom. They will also be able to see the screen.

Sorry for not being any fun. I just think Roku is behaving somewhat logically here. (I say "somewhat" because there is one issue: speaking for myself at least, would never buy a TV that does this!)
