Crazy system. What can you do! YouTube doesn't use such encryption because it's free, I think.

But that's bad for Consumer and at the time good for Company as they definitely Saving their product for no illegal streaming or selling
None of OnePlus devices do. Apparently they forgot to take the licence from Google. Widevine licence by the way doesn't cost any money. As I checked on their website. I don't know why then smartphone manufacturers are unwilling to take license or certification. My device with Full HD display is perfectly capable to stream FHD contents.

I think Netflix and Prime Videos want their users to stream in 4K and FHD contents only on Smart TV or in Apple TV or Nvidia Shield or other major Company Devices
That sounds unlikely. If manufacturers are willing to get their devices certified. I don't see any reason why Netflix or Amazon would have problem with letting users stream the content in HD or 4K. Some devices of Sony, Samsung and LG are certified and they are able to stream not only in 4K but also in HDR.

Taking Certification also means increase in price of TVs
It's free of charge.

Clearly mentioned on the website. Google doesn't asses license fee for widevine products.
