The main benefit is that you can use an AppleTV as the smarthome hub, right?

Yes. It also doesn't depend on Wifi. Putting home automation devices on Wifi isn't worth it, especially if you're going to automate most of your home.

I have an old Apple TV, yes, it is 4K but I think 2-3 generations old. Does it work with Matter?
If not WiFi, what is this, bluetooth? something else? radio waves? IR light? Gravitons? Flux capacitor?
