Android TV is super clunky to use and literally sucks though, in comparison to FireTV OS. I don’t think the fact that FireTV OS has a foothold is a miracle at all.

A lot of folks would rather buy a 200 dollar “dumb” TV and turn it into a smart TV with a 30 dollar device like a FireTV Stick. It’s much more cost effective, and brings the same value. Furthermore, the user experience and interface and time you need to spend on it to get to what you’re looking for, is far more streamlined on FireTV OS.

I have Android TVOS on my new TV and immediately started using my old 4K fire stick from my previous TV because the UI and lagging of Android TV was unbearable.

Yup. And whenever I visit the fam, I can take my firestick with me and plug and play.
