Key points include:
No ad-supported TV operating-system layer built primarily around monetizing viewing habits
Better default posture than many smart-TV platforms that rely on ACR-style viewing-data collection
Analytics controls are more user-visible than on many ad-supported TV platforms
Still assume app-level viewing data, Apple account telemetry, streaming-service logs, and network metadata remain
Best fit for users who want a mainstream streaming device without relying on a heavily ad-monetized smart-TV OS
