Is the future of this ecosystem really exclusively limited to the Television?
Gaming is already an explicit part of this, which undoubtedly will include VR, which is theoretically suited to Television-like content.
If they do this right, the source code running on your VR gogs will mention "TV" everywhere, much like the the current OS running their desktops and mobile devices references a defunct company.
Not television the broadcast medium, but television the giant Samsung device in your living room.
Exactly to my point: It's called iOS because the breadth of it's applicability was recognized from the beginning.
Edit: You're right, and it's different: naming of the mobile OS and namespacing were independent, allowing for a public re-brand without changing any code. Seems the TV is not going that way though.

Presumably people won't be writing games with this simple presentation layer optimized for printing lists of multimedia content - for example TV Shows... Games will (mostly) be written in objC/Swift to the Metal APIs, as will many other apps.
This is just a small portion of the app creation ecosystem for the Apple TV, and since it's geared towards things that traditionally are watched on a TV, I think the name is fine.
