Does Vizio actually make the YouTube app? Why is it Vizio's responsibility to fix? I can see YT prioritizing this app's dev time waaaaaay lower than other devices. If the stats don't justify it, no PM at a FAANG is going to let their team work it.

Why does every television need a propietary system with custom apps?
Why does your phone need a proprietary system with custom apps? Not really sure what you're trying to get at though.
Well, good point. That’s why most manufacturers go with Android instead of making their own.
I think most go with Android so they don't have to think about it and can roll out quickly. I'd be willing to guess that everyone wishes they could do what Apple did, but instead just roll out crap hardware with crap software ontop of the OS they didn't make.
