Thanks. I could spend hours watching distant cultures. Their colours, environment, technical equipment... I saw some people in Somalia using DJI microphones, those that in the West are mainly used by YouTubers.

I also see TVs that are normally subject to fees. I'm aware the FAQs say it's only public streams, but I fear this won't last long.

Non-public streams wouldn’t be published without DRM, or at least not as publicly retrievable (i.e. without any authentication) M3U playlists, would they?

Yes - for some of these you can stream if you know the URL, but you're only able to discover the URL after making an account.

If they contain some entropy, i.e. if there's path/parameter based bearer token authentication, sure.

https://iptv.example.com/720p.m3u8? I doubt you'll convince many courts of that being nonpublic.
