The flip side works as well. I upgraded my TV a while back, and didn’t have to get used to a new/different UI, menu system, or remote - the TV is just a display screen for my Apple TV (and PS5). I only touch the TV’s remote for the rare over-the-air broadcast.

Can somebody tell me the point of the Apple TV? Genuine question.

We have a smart TV and it's just simpler to use its own apps for things like Netflix or Amazon Prime, rather than mess around switching HDMI input and booting-up the Apple TV (which we do have, albeit an older one).

If I want to watch Apple TV shows then I do so on my phone, or MacBook.

Just about the only reason I've ever seen anybody use an Apple TV is for beaming photos onto the big TV screen. But that's not exactly an everyday thing.
