Continuously frustrated to see the YouTube app return to my Apple TV home screen. I can appreciate why Google makes it hard for me to block their apps on their platforms, but why won't Apple allow me to explicitly allow or disallow which apps can be installed on my Apple TV? Why don't screen time limits apply to the Apple TV?

The lack of screen time limits on the Apple TV just demonstrates Apple's complete lack of credibility in this area too.

And the parental controls on their other devices are illogical and remarkably buggy. Clearly not a priority.

The kids can easily add back free apps with their Apple ID.
