Why sign up for Apple TV if you still have to pay for shows or movies?

I am confused about Apple TV. We don't have cable service so why would I pay for Apple TV if I still have to pay for shows on the site when I can just pay for the service on my fire stick.

apple sell third party movies and tv series


apple produce and sell their own content which they charge $4.99 per month for


if apple where to include all the third party material they host and sell for other companies for a $4.99 per month

it would be a pretty poor business case


so TL;DR if you wish to watch the material they produce for appletv+
