Kinda related, but I feel similarly about Apple News+. It's a handy interface for an overview of the news, but they push subscription options. I want to be able to configure it to just not show me the pay-even-more options. And to exclude certain news outlets altogether. At best you can choose to hide a news provider, but they don't really go away -- it just shows you a black box where the story would be, along with a note that you've blocked them, and a button to show it anyway. Sigh.

I think Apple News is the only Apple made app that shows inline interest based adds.

Annoyingly they still show them even if you pay for the News+ subscription.

Just don't use the "Apple TV" app on your Apple TV hardware?

Make the Home button go to the App screen.
