Why can’t the Apple TV remote ping like AirPods?

Can the remove be given like a tiny speaker or perhaps vibrate so we can locate it? That thing gets lodged between my butt cheeks more times than my boyfriend hits his vape when he’s tracking a package on fedex

Apple TV and Apple AirPods Bug Has anyone else been having a bug when they are specifically using AirPods with Apple TV. The bug is that when you are in any app. (I.E. Music, YouTube, Netflix, etc.) you can’t adjust the volume with the Siri remote. It will go up and down in the screen but will not correspond accordingly in your AirPods. You can ex out of the app and go to the home screen and the volume still will not change in the AirPods. The only solution is to force restart the Apple TV via pressing the menu and home buttons simultaneously till you see the Apple logo and does a reset. After this you can adjust the volume of the AirPods on Apple TV via the Siri remote. This bug is only apparent at some times and doesn’t happen all the time. It’s more at random. Has anyone else seen this issue ? Thanks!

Apple TV shows AirPods Pro connected but it still uses the TV speaker Can somebody please tell me how to fix this apart from turning the TV off for 5 mins then turning it back on or is it the only fix that Apple wants us to do? It’s been 6 months or more since I first experienced such a bug and still it is present. Or is this a hardware or software issue? Ive tried to reset my connection and repaired with the airpods, still did not work.
