Why is this 'Apple TV' like, and not Roku-like. Since it's by-far the most popular.

[–] misk@sopuli.xyz 12 points 9 hours ago

Apple TV is high-end / premium (AKA expensive), same as Sonos. Apple TV doesn’t suck though, unlike Sonos.

Roku North America only, the rest of the world doesn't have a clue about Roku.

Sonos peddles their wares globally.

Roku comes preinstalled on a lot of the Chinese brands. I assumed the rest of the world bought those as well.

Not true. I know several people in the UK who have Roku streaming devices.

I used them for a long time. But switched elsewhere due to their enshitification through ads and their TPS bullshit.
