I know these apps aren't exactly starting revolutions in developing nations, but what I do think is that this is a brand new class of device and users are likely curious to see what's out there only to be stumped by an App Store that seems to be saying "netflix and games are all this device does".
You say users don't want to view gif slideshows, but I'm not so sure of that. I don't think they've had a chance to find out if they want that or not.
(and yes, I know they don't want to roll dice. The number of board gamers with Apple TVs and penchants for loosing their dice is apparently vanishingly small)
