I wish those restrictions would include forcing providers to support AirPlay. Amazon Prime recently cut off airplay support (last year). ”Due to technical limitations and to improve the user experience“ but we all know it’s for business reasons or possibly DRM reasons. Netflix and other video apps followed shortly thereafter once they saw Apple didn’t retaliate. Now they all say you should use their official smart TV apps, but that doesn’t work with older Apple TV set-top boxes and it’s a worse experience all around regardless (at least in my opinion, I know some people disagree or don’t care one way or the other, but now it’s no longer an option for people like me who do prefer the AirPlay experience). AirPlay used to be one of the major selling points of iPhones for me, but now it’s only useful on pirated media where you have the .mp4 file... (and to preempt the counterargument about just using Chromecast, for whatever reason in my experience across a multitude of devices Chromecast has always been extremely unstable, and often is more hassle than it’s worth. Nowadays I just put an iPad on my coffee table and watch that even though I have a huge TV sitting on the wall a few feet away)
