It's maybe not as disruptive as you think - not yet. To display on your tv you require a computer or apple device plugged into the tv. Not many people do that yet.
It'll all be super locked down like Apple's typical developer bullshit. It's not like Apple is going to let developers make use of this, it'll just be a built-in feature of iphone + apple tv. And it'll all be geared toward selling tv shows and games specifically for this capability.
In 6 months the same feature set will be available in Android.
If Apple starts to roll out their own line of tv's, then they might really start changing the living room landscape. Got an iPhone, now get an iTV and play all your games on it, that sort of cross marketing.

It's not like Apple is going to let developers make use of this Developer's are already making use of this. Check out Firemint's Real Racing 2, which supports 4-player split-screen using Airplay. It's trivial to enable Airplay mirroring in your application. So there's no reason that every single game on the app store won't at least let you play on the TV as a large screen.
