I agree Preview.app is amazing. It's fast, has a lot of features and not bloated at all. However I think recent built-in apps are so bad almost unusable (like Music.app and TV.app), Preview's elegance seems to be a lost art in Apple.

What’s wrong with the AppleTV app? Perf is fine. UI/X is par with HBOMax, Disney+. Definitely better than Prime Video.
I might have different use case than most people that I mainly use it to manage local video files and sync with my phone. The bugs are very similar to the bugs on Music.app where there's a lot of desync between app & local folder, duplicate entries, broken thumbnail, clunky UX etc. The quality difference between that and older macOS built-in softwares is pretty obvious imo (the most obvious drop is Music.app rewrite in Big Sur)
