Yes but no. Businesses that openly squeeze people earn no loyalty, which is fine if you have little competition but that is changing fast. Better to find the right balance.
Like I said, Sky never confirms such things, but I think it's possible to extrapolate from the requirement for Xbox, Playstation and Apple TV hardware to have the additional subscription in place.
But no requirement for laptops and PCs? Inconsistent. I think you're right though, consoles and ATV are an opportunity for them to capture new business through kids in their bedrooms. They probably can't figure out how to differentiate between an external screen (TV) attached to a laptop/PC and a monitor, so it's easier to leave that be (and no doubt a far smaller problem to have to worry about).
Problem is, there's little that Sky offer that others don't now. We are maxed out on Sky Q boxes in our house so I bought a Roku stick for my son to use in his bedroom. It's brilliant, and if he goes to stay at a friends house he can take it with him (along with all of our other subscriptions) and they can watch movies etc there.
