I have no technical knowledge of Android but from a user perspective the whole system reeks of overwhelming technical debt. Updates constantly break old features and need rapid roll-forward patches. The whole OS is plagued by irritating slow-downs, screen flickers and weird interactions. It feels like no one knows how to tackle major changes so they just update the fucking volume UI every 6 months and call it a day. Android TV degrades continuously. It feels like no one cares.

The people that care already jumped ship to Apple. Android is now the domain of the budget shopper.

  Obviously untrue.

  I wouldn't switch to Apple even if it would be cheaper

Pure nonsense.

I don't know anything about android tv. You can blame Google's garbage A/B testing addiction for that. Android on most devices is very stable. If it's not (manufacturers fault), just install LineageOS (basically stock ASOP, with device drivers)
