Apple TV doesn't have a U1, but I think the bigger problem is the AirPods don't have one. So my guess is that the reason why this is not a feature on Apple TV is because the way it's done with AirPods Pro and iPads is probably with Bluetooth. But if it's going to be like, you know, 12 feet in front of you, across the room with an Apple TV, maybe that's maybe it can't be precise enough for the effect to work very well. It seems like all the hardware in the Apple TVs must be there for this.
