Both are true.

Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube are neither building custom apps nor enabling their iPad apps for use on Vision Pro.

It is not only NOT in their interest to do so (and users can use the web anyway; the download use case is a vanishingly small market segment), but it is ALSO a way for them to speak truth to Apple's power w.r.t. their draconian in-app purchases policy. Game on.

That just pushes more people to using AppleTV.

Media companies are really going to regret their choices to intentionally give up the entire market to Apple, because that only helps Apple build their walled garden just that much higher.

Do you mean Apple TV (the device), Apple TV (the app), or do you mean Apple TV+ (their streaming service)?

I don’t see Apple outsmart Netflix or Amazon when it comes to creating and distributing shows and movies.

Well, Apple TV+ the service doesn't work without the Apple TV app. The Apple TV device is not a strict requirement for this scenario.

I do wish Apple had more distinctive naming, instead of overloading the same name for multiple things. Blech.

But you are correct that I meant the service.
