Why is watchoptik.telus.com intentionally broken on Linux?

[wireless]

I've observed this over the last little while trying to use the Optik TV website to watch shows on my Linux machines in Chrome. The reason why I think this seems intentional is there is no dependency reason for it to not work. This idea is proven when you use a User-Agent switcher to switch the platform reported by your browser to Windows instead of Linux then everything works as normal.

So why is Telus almost seemlying intending to block the ability to watch Optik TV on Linux?
