I sometimes wonder if Google intentionally delays features like this for Apple platforms as a way to make them a "second class citizen" to their own devices. Why else would something as basic as surround sound support be delayed for so long?

I would rather have HDR support (Dolby Vision even better), which I believe the Apple TV YouTube app does not support.

Finally, YouTube is sort of embracing the cutting edge technology of the 1970’s!
