I've never understood TV Profiles. Do most people watch TV alone?
Allow multiple selection: The whole family's watching. Just my wife & I are watching. Now it's just me.
This and other features often feel like the result of developers largely being young people who live in a house with roommates.

ChatGPT's full of it, right? No Apple acknowledgment in '23. No reporting of it in iOS 17 & then in iOS 18, implying Apple knew but didn't care or couldn't fix it.
It feels like this:
