Why is there almost no support for Live Channels?

Of the apps I have installed, Pluto and Bloomberg are the only ones that integrate with Live Channels. What gives? This is a cool feature that seems to have no third party traction.

HDHomeRun over the air channels work with it as well. Although exiting out of Live Channels, the station still plays in the background even when you're on the home screen. Haven't quite figured out why it's like that so I don't use it.

You can hook sources up yourself. I have my favorite twitch channels hooked up.

There's roughly ten apps that have supported it. I agree it's an awesome feature. Most large content providers don't like it as it takes away a lot of control over the experience, but it's definitely something that smaller creators should look into.

Mobdro is a pretty solid live tv app.

Haystack.tv works as well.
