Wha? You can pin the app to the top row and literally press enter. The UI in the app will be written by Apple. If it's poorly designed and proprietary it'll be on them.
Anyway, it'll be nice to access free 4K upgrades via iTunes on my TV without a separate box. Neat.
Given this has been announced so early in the year I think it's very (very) likely Apple signed an exclusivity agreement with Samsung until the end of 2019.
Being able to natively access my iTunes content and ATV+ Right from the home screen of my TV would be very convenient.
