All I want to share is my AppleTV, not complete and unfettered access to my entire apple account. I have credit card numbers etc, that I don’t want to just give out. I cannot see how to just share AppleTV. It does not seem to be an option.

You should never share your Apple ID account, and that isn’t needed to share an Apple TV+ subscription.

Instead of sharing your account, you set up a group of users, linked by the group members own Apple ID accounts, and then each can view the content through their own account. One person in the group has to take on the role of organizer, and invite the others through his or her iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, or Mac.

You do not need to activate Purchase Sharing within Family Sharing, in order to share Apple TV+ and similar subscriptions.
