Could Roku be an app on Tivo?

I'm not asking for a Tivo app on my Roku device. Rather, I'm asking if I can have a Roku app on my Tivo.

Although it's great to have 1st level apps like Netflix and Hulu on Tivo, there are thousands of apps which are not on Tivo or the Tivo version is out of date. If I could have a Roku app on Tivo, then I could use the Roku version of Neflix, Hulu, or whatever other app I wanted.

There are some smart TVs which come with the Roku interface, so it seems like it would be theoretically possible to have Roku on a Tivo. I wouldn't expect it to necessarily be a free app. I could see having to pay for the Roku app so that Tivo didn't have to add the licensing fee to the unit price.

Disclaimer: The most recent Tivo I own is an HD, so I'm not up to date on the latest app support in Tivo. But even with my HD, I got a Roku device because it's a more robust streaming platform and had more app support.
