That‘s a bit misleading… They said the Userbase isn’t yet high enough for them to put in effort to make it available. That might change.

Why they went out of their way to make the iPad App unavailable, that I do not know. They might have wanted a different user experience and decided to disable it till they have time to persue that idea 🤷‍♂️

Give it a year or two when the Vision userbase grew and we‘ll see what happens.

It is going to be a slow rollout. It might take years to build a substantial user base. Apple will need to bring the price down to iPhone territory.

Edit: if I was Netflix I would still put a small team on making a proper app. I believe apple will persist in this market until it works.
