I can see now why apple aren’t making their own TVs , they don’t need to

the ultimate Trojan horse , well played apple , well played indeed
I have no idea what this means. Why is this a Trojan horse? It’s just a streaming app. It’s not like it exposes Android users to the Apple hardware ecosystem. If Apple made the ATV hardware a success they might have been in a much stronger position today. Now, they only have 2% of the “smart tv“ market and no real presence in the living room. Or smart home for that matter.

Fair comment there, but they have to make AppleTV+ a more compelling offer to get people to actually subscribe rather than (currently) sitting on a free subscription because they have purchased an Apple device recently.
Apple “have to”. Apple “should do” this or that. This will never stop.

Apple is doing exactly that: producing high quality content at the pace needed for high quality content. It takes time to build a critical mass of shows, but Apple is THE master at the slow and steady game that ultimately wins the race.
