That said, this is one of the better prices for these movies - don't think they're available for $7ea very often.
Everybody should avoid buying things on Apple if they can get it elsewhere for maximum portability. Otherwise, you're stuck in their eco-system, stuck paying the Apple tax and the longer you continue to use them, the more expensive it gets to make changes.

- Apple TV is available on Roku through the Apple TV Channel
- There is in fact an Apple TV App available for Windows which will stream in UHD
- Entertainment Platforms from other ecosystem providers such as Google, Amazon and (especially) Microsoft are arguably worse for "portability" than Apple.
Sure, services such as VUDU is probably still the best out there in the way of portability, but Apple TV is nowhere near as bad as you make it out to be, especially if you consider things such as free upgrades to UHD (although VUDU has started doing that, too, for some movies).

I still can't get it on my Android phone. An issue I do not have on Vudu/Fandango.
Either way, why would anyone buy it on a lesser platform with less reach?
Apple is that platform and I'd avoid them like the plague. A lot of Apple stuff is Apple eco-system only. For instance, I never buy books on iBooks. Kindle gives me an app on every platform possible, even Windows and Mac.
PS, Amazon I can get on every platform possible so I'm not even sure why think it's worse.

In the US, HBO Max has the Ghibli rights and not availabe on Netflix. In many other countries (where there is no HBO Max) you can stream these on Netflix.

"Buy on platform with less reach": Some people prioritize things like getting consistent UHD upgrades when they become available. There is no "perfect" service out there, so you pick the one which fits your requirements the best.
"Why I included Amazon": This was in reference to your initial argument of not being able to get UHD on Windows with Apple TV -- Amazon will only stream at 1080p on Windows while Apple will stream 4k with their App. But, yes, other than that, Amazon does have a broad reach.
Anyway, I probably should have left out the that last bullet about Google, Microsoft, and Amazon. That was more subjective, while the first two points were made to correct your comments, not to start a debate about which service was better (which I fear it has). As I alluded to earlier, no single streaming service does everything right, and a consumer should be able to objectively choose which fits them the best.

Apple unfortunately is a hard core walled garden and has no intent on expanding unless they have to. That's why, I'd rather stick with Vudu/Fandango or even Amazon. Yes, Apple do upgrades to UHD, and that's a nice benefit in the rare instances they do.
I avoid Apple like the plague, as they just aren't good for competition these days. The exception is the upgrade to UHD as well as working with Movies Anywhere, and that I have a $50 gift card from almost a decade ago I'm looking to spend.
Even just as an example, in order to purchase this deal (not that I would as it doesn't port to anywhere) you have to login into iTunes. I literally have to keep a virtual machine with iTunes installed to do it.

That is why they said "For now". Try to keep up...

So, it is right there in the Extras. Once you start playing the English audio version, you should see an Extras button within the TV+ app. Click on that (I'm not sure what the LG interface looks like, so I don't know what clicking on Extras requires you to do) and one of the options will be the original Japanese audio. Unfortunately, Extras aren't downloadable. Meaning you have to listen to the Japanese audio version while online. Ultimately, I asked for a refund from Apple and I received it.
