Because the Mi Box has no Kodi / Plex dynamic refresh switching. Do not even attempt to throw interlaced video content at it either or VC-1. You will be really unhappy then. I call it a "Kodi light" box - good for non demanding first timers.
If those Gotchas will affect you should probably look at the at a NVIDIA Shield if you want a Android TV device.
