The main AppleTV UI doesn’t have any recommendations for streaming apps you don’t own - the only thing that’s even close are when you highlight one of the apps in the top bar.
As far as I understand though, is that it will show recommendations provided by installed apps. I do have Prime, and I still don't really want recommendations without explicitly asking for it.
This is a giant banner at the top of the home page that shows ads from random streaming services that you may or may not subscribe to or have installed.

Fake notification alerts in the App Store to get you to tap on the Apple Arcade button to show you a subscription ad.
Spam from Apple that I can't seem to stop receiving, even though I'm unsubscribed from every Apple list. I've gone as far as to contact AppleCare about it. I spent an hour on the phone with someone at AppleCare who couldn't explain why I keep getting Apple Arcade spam in my e-mail.
just when i'm just about ready to pull the trigger and switch to iOS you tell me this..

Good way to get your notification privileges revoked though. I wish Apple would add granular notification categories within apps so that you could approve particular types of notifications while denying others. A quick google says Android 8 did this in 2017.
Apple's policy on this is to require in-app configuration to opt out of marketing messages, rather than a way to configure it through the OS.
I do see what Apple is going for, in that these predefined categories let you automate notification handling with Focus modes, but I have a feeling a lot of apps will have an inflated opinion of how important "new episodes of ____ are available" is to me.
Are you saying they do it after you opt-out of the marketing notifications in-app?
The digital prison builders are less offensive than their supporters. Remember to point and laugh when they complaint about their self-funded captivity. Its an important public service to point and laugh as they are paving the way for our imprisonment. We clearly didn't laugh hard enough in the past.

Is it Apple keeping non-Google-produced YouTube clients off the App Store, or is it Apple? Maybe both?
And I never watch MLB games nor do I have the app installed (clicking the games brings me to install the MLB app).
E.g. “Show sports scores” is off, “Games in Up Next” is off, and “Exciting Games” is off.
