That seems to be the standard way iOS and iPadOS devices work with events, by displaying them via the Apple TV app. On my Macs I think I had to watch it via Safari and go to the Apple website to click the link. There isn't an Apple TV app on Mac, you use the Safari browser to watch Apple TV.
I think maybe Apple added the Apple Events app to the older generation of ATVs because there wasn't a browser and you couldn't add apps yourself via the app store. I know my older ATV 3rd gen only had apps which Apple added to it via FW, and there wasn't any access to an app store. So perhaps that was how Apple was able to allow people to watch the events on their older ATVs. At any rate it makes sense to get rid of the Apple Events app on the newer ATVs to make them more consistent across the various devices. Plus why have an app that is only used 2 or 3 days a year? Kind of a waste of space!
