As we know, the apple services are not relatively easy to run on other platforms like Android, Fire TV, etc., so there is no difference for Apple Music. As Apple prefers to keep its products and services within its echo system, using them on other platforms is not easy unless they provide the same.
Apple TV is the video streaming service by apple, which was available only on apple products and the web initially. Still, it is currently available for Android TV and Fire TV. However, this is not the case with Apple music. We can’t get a dedicated Apple music app for the Fire TV; hence, it is not easy to run the apple music on Fire TV or the Fire TV Stick.
