I am surprised that B&O does not explain this properly in the manual. So this remains at guessing level.

At the moment I am using the internal apps of my LG CX television (HBO, Disney etc). Would I gain anything from acquiring the latest Apple TV 4K to use instead?
Thanks

If you are fine navigating your tv and using those apps might as well stick to it. Personally I find every TV remote and UI terrible (including the Beoremote 1) so moving to the Apple TV was a god send in the user interface and speed.  You also get other features like airplay, lots of apps and games if you want.

That is fair points but I kind of like to be able to chose the source (internal app) of my choice directly from the BeoRemote 1. I would think that if I ran all apps from an ATV I can’t do that as the BeoRemote 1 would only allow me to activate the ATV as a source or can I activate an app on the ATV directly I wonder?

You can't change sources with the ATV but I have all my sources (game systems) connected directly to the theatre.  Then with HDMI control I just fire up the source I want to use and the theatre automatically changes the source to the newly active one.

I have never thankfully had to use the terrible BR1 for anything other than the power off button.

When did B&O suddenly start calling the theatre The "BeoVision Theatre" when it's paired with a screen? The name also changed on its own in the app.

On the website in the design drop down of the Theatre it is still referencing G2, surely it should come with the G3 or even latest G4 when available … assuming it will when bought via a store.  In my real world experience the best thing I did was trading up my G2 65 for the G3 65 with MLA… made me fall in love again with movies… excellent Atmos sound & a picture second to none (maybe just to the Sony A95L) but BeoRemote One control made the LG the only choice.

This seems very reasonable,just a marketing move.
