This surprised me and so I wanted to check it out, but I think you're incorrect about this. I checked a number of shows shot in the last 15 years (The Expanse, The Wire, Schitt's Creek, Squid Game, Star Trek: Discovery, Foundation, New Girl, Community, Westworld), and every single one of them is either 24 fps or 23.976 fps in the versions available for streaming on the web.

Pretty much every TV documentary or larger production (e.g. Eurovision) is still 50/60Hz though.

It's only the narrative based shows that try to be "cinematic" which are at those low fps rates.

But the technology is there, it works just fine.
