Well luckily the Apple TV platform has had 17 years to develop that feature and it hasn’t happened yet. Never say never and all that, but almost two decades is quite the track record.
You mean the top part of the screen? That is up to the app developer to control. Some like YouTube use it as an image, others like Plex show the next episodes to pick up on as well as giving an option to resume playback.
The Apple TV app might advertise their services, but that doesn’t mean the Apple TV platform is doing any advertising. You only see the app’s ads if you hover over it on the Home Screen and if you remove the app or move it out of the way, you no longer see its ads.
Yeah. For example, IIRC Disney plus doesn’t show anything there. You can also make Tv Plus app show the “up next” instead of “what you watch” in that space.
LaPlace even has a formula for determining the likelihood of an event happening, that hasn't happened yet. Using LaPlace's formula, there's just about a 5% chance of Apple TV adding that misfeature in the coming year.
