Apple and Google tried that for years on their TV platforms and the content providers aggressively blocked them.
E.g. Netflix outright refuses any kind of integration where their content would be surfaced next to other services - their product managers DEMAND that people go to their app into their owned experience to access content.
And designers/product managers at other content providers are the same.

- cosmic_cheese 1y agoNetflix refusing to integrate is a huge pain. I recently set up an Apple TV box for a non-technical parent, and while most services can be effectively navigated with the system-level voice search, Netflix is the odd one out and so I suspect Netflix is going to go mostly unwatched.
- comprev 1y agoNetflix wants 100% of your attention on _their_ content. Instead of "channel surfing" and picking a competitor's production they want to keep viewers inside their walled garden.
