The major bonus to Apple TV is how easily it plugs into your TV and then integrates with everything else. If you buy the physical unit, they frame it as an all in one device. Realistically, you still have to pay for each subscription service. It doesn't offer anything more than most smart TVs or video game consoles.
As far as the App itself goes, they are trying to market it as a replacement for your cable. You subscribe to the Apple TV, the same way you would basic cable, and then you add on channels.
It's more expensive to run this kind of thing via Apple, but so is everything Apple does.
