Programmable Shortcut (Quick Launch) buttons. Even if they are labeled, a long press option or something.

Not
So it refers to the one we already own not some new one you released that others have said has some massive privacy issues.
To be honest those buttons irritate the **bleep** out of me because they can exit you from an app, only YouTube seems to ask if you really want to leave. It should ask that for all apps.
There is a hidden menu, how hard would it be to give option to map the buttons to the app in P1 to P9 on the home screen.
Only 1 byte per button required.

The preprogrammed buttons are paid for by the providers named on the button. Roku cannot give the user the ability to change the programming of the buttons. You have a valid point about each button should confirm the press was intentional. But I could also see someone complain that they don't want to have to press the button twice. Unfortunately you can't please everyone.
It is a fair point for Roku to point out a remote has a function that someone has requested in this thread. The fact that Roku has had programmable buttons on some remotes for a couple of years still isn't well known, so they are simply pointing out the feature already exists.
