Almost every smart TV platform is, at this point, a billboard for ads with your apps sprinkled in, but where...

Doesn’t its home screen hover on the Music app by default, which shows nearly-fullscreen banners that are almost ads?

I don’t have one, but in every Apple TV from my school, that’s how it starts up

The top banner shows content from whatever app you hover over. You can rearrange your apps.

And I don’t use Music on mine much but I’m pretty sure it just shows your own content?

It shows content from whatever app you have highlighted. If you were recently watching Love is Blind on Netflix and you hover over Netflix it will show a love is blind banner. If you were watching pirated stuff from your home server on Infuse then hovering over infuse will show you the most recent thing you opened. They’re not ads, it’s just a “recent” list.
