As if the Prime Video app couldn't get any worse.

This is one of the reasons I went to Apple TV for my streaming box.

All the streaming services seem to be in a race to make the slowest, worst looking, least consistent application possible. And Apple at least has a bit of a hand in making them reign it in a bit, and keep the players consistent.

"ooh, we're averaging only 75% cpu use, we can cram another shitty effect in here..."

Although this pause menu crap will 100% appear in the Apple TV too. Paramount+ and some others are already doing it.

Apple does allow video apps to use their own player, and not the default player. And many of the non-Apple players are total trash.
