u/chewza and I have been trying a bunch of apps and almost all of the fireTV apps work perfectly on the shield.
Why would the developers who clearly also have Playstore accounts not put them on android TV?

List of apps 🤔
Fire tv pulls it's apps from Amazon store. Amazon might have different requirements to get listed?
Do you have to pay for it to be listed? If so, FireTV has a much larger user base than AndroidTV.
It probably is exclusivity, like others mentioned, but maybe money/resources into the larger user base (either fees for adding it or porting it from FireTV's version of Android OS to true AndroidTV OS)
What's the best way to Port over a fire TV app to Nvidia shield tv" boomerang app"
analogy.... Netflix works great, why are not all movies on it?
Only thing I could ever guess is these companies have exclusivity agreements with Amazon.
