Rakuten TV blocks Linux (sopuli.xyz)

A question about Linux blocks on streaming sites. Is there a way to go around them?

For example, Rakuten TV has some free movies that are viewable around here. I could watch them on Windows but after the Linux switch can no longer play them. The site specifically tells me that GNU/Linux is not supported.

I don't understand what the problem is to support Linux from a technical point of view.

Would some spoofed client header be enough here?

And to add, like many sites, on mobile they try to make you install their app. Would like to just use the browser please...
