But unless they literally block all encrypted connections and force you to use HTTPS decryption by essentially doing a MITM attack on all of your traffic (which nobody, especially business travelers, would ever tolerate), then it's going to be possible to stream anything you want, via a VPN, regardless of how many sites they try to block.
Free wifi should include anything you want to use it for, including streaming. In practice, if you can only stream 30-60 seconds' worth of 4K video in the included amount of data, then it's not too incredibly useful to do that. But unlike hiding which sites you can visit, no VPN can hide the amount of data you're using, so to get people to not stream on board, you restrict the amount of data and charge for it.
