How about letting Android users watch your shows?

> Apple only offers an “Apple TV” app in the Play Store for streaming devices and television sets powered by Android/Google TV. There is no mobile app for phones and tablets. Those with mobile Android devices and Chromebooks are officially told to use tv.apple.com.

yeah except more than 720p in a browser. I'd actually pay for AppleTV+ if it would just work like any other streaming service with a regular browser.

They can (they'd have to... Otherwise most smart TVs wouldn't work for it). I'm still going to avoid their shows in protest of their closed down ecosystem though.

The purpose of Apple TV+ is to lock you down in iPhone/Apple ecosystem, even if they are losing the money on the service itself.

So, good luck with that.

I watch a few ATV shows, and I’ve never done so on an Apple device.

This is not true. There is an Android app.

Not available for my Pixel 8 which is hardly a niche device.

It is not available on my Pixel 8 Pro, arguably the newest current Android device.
