This is a bad take. Apple exerting control over what UI conventions are allowed, or even required, would be disastrous. I dont think you can carve out a special case for video players.
Franklin Delano Stallone@agiletortoise @daringfireball There is a point to that but I'm not sure I’ve seen a custom UI that served the user better.
Imo the web is worse in that you might not even get controls so if you miss something 2/3 of the way through you're watching the whole video again.
On Apple TV a local streaming app used to try and force the sound on if you muted during ads.
Ideally the user would have a choice. On Apple TV it might be harder but it's doable on the web.
