Because `iPhone` was a super unique name...
I would argue that people are not excited about Apple TV because it does its job. There isn't a major need for new features but if they find a good feature to add to it, it can cause excitement.
The OP is right though, the Apple TV being able to be a hub (which also means it processes Secure Video and how you access your HomeKit devices from outside your home) is a nice features that shouldn't be discounted. It is a Hub that is already in many people's homes and could be a gateway product.
I guarantee you that if Apple announces a new Apple TV with some fantastic new feature, more people will be excited and buy it than there are that follow HA updates.
