The aTV is great because iTunes on it is fantastic quality all around while on other boxes you have to use Movies Anywhere to match the quality (and not all movies are on MA and you cannot rent things there)
Having said that I think the Shield is better because the overall freedom you get with the device. You can sideload, play almost any file, change the launcher if you want, can Cast to it (no AirPlay though which the aTV obviously has), and finally the upscaling is fantastic.
People are gonna say the Shield has ads on the main launcher, which I agree is straight up garbage, but Apple pushes their services on you so hard with their interface and people for some reason don't consider that as "having ads". At least with the shield you can change the launcher

What else does the Apple TV do better than the Shield?

Also, if you use HomeKit or plan to, the ATV is nice to have because you can pull up your HomeKit cameras on the screen (can also do PIp with the camera while watching a show). I just replaced some of my smart devices with HomeKit compatible ones and I find it useful.
There is one big flaw with the ATV that might be an issue and that is the flickering during dark scenes for SDR content. I managed to fix it by setting my HDMI output to RGB high instead of the default YCbCr. Supposedly it is a bug with the frame matching setting when turned on.
Anyway, I'm pretty happy with the ATV and will continue to use it at least until the nvidia shield gets android 12 which would include auto frame matching.
