I don't use Disney+ or Apple TV+

Other than the programmable buttons 1 and 2, can the default app buttons be reprogrammed to use with different apps?

Sorry, no. Those buttons are hard coded and paid for by those channels for that remote production run.

Of course not, it's all about Roku getting ad revenue from the streaming companies that paid to put their buttons there. Roku doesn't care if those buttons are useless to you because you don't have those services, or if you press them by accident and they take you out of the program you are watching. Not only can you not reprogram them you can't even disable them short of opening up the remote and ripping the buttons out. It's really pathetic.
