Good content is expensive. And from what I understand, the financials are all fucked up across the industry.
Just look at Netflix, they just blew $320 million on a huge piece of garbage, The Electric State.

That’s sad to hear. The content on there is amazing for the most part. But, apparently, not cluttering it up with a bunch of junk is actually costing them somehow.

It’s a loss leader. They make money selling the hardware and use AppleTV as a feature. That’s why the content is so good; it has to be to make it a compelling addition to their existing products.

That would make sense if it wasn’t available on every other platform.
