>Yet Apple devices are usable and enjoyed by both young techies and old grandparents and all groups in between.
And many of them don't know the features they could be using and enjoying but aren't because they aren't discoverable.

The Roku app allows you to fill passwords via your phone and use the phone as a remote for your Roku. I can also use Roku's private listening feature to redirect its audio to my phone allowing me to listen using the headphones connected to my phone. Roku also has a remote available with a wired headphone jack which automatically redirects the audio to it when headphones are connected to the jack.
For comparison, you can access the remote from anywhere within iOS by opening Control Center and a notification with a text field automatically appears when there is a text input on the Apple TV or you need to authenticate with Face ID. No app required. You can also output audio to AirPods and it prompts you automatically if you are watching something and you put them in your ears. Works seamlessly. Is this lock in or is this 1+1=3?

Mind explaining how?
No one is "locked in". I can sell my phone and my Apple TV will still be better than all of its competitors.
