Android Central Question

I'm curious as to why apps on the Nvidia Shield are so limited compared to on other devices.
For example, Puffin internet browser seems to be the only browser that works but it is extremely limited. There's very little customisation options for cookies, add blockers etc.yet so many other android devices seem to have almost unlimited options.
Spotify is another one. My phone and tablet have far more features in this app than the shield.
The only way I can run DAZN is through Kodi and it was very tricky to set that up. Surprise surprise, it's a du!bed down version again of what I get on other devices.
Can anyone she'd light on why this is or any ways to expand the usability to parity with other android devices?
 
I moved this to the Nvidia Shield Android TV forum for more specific traffic (assuming you don't actually mean the Shield Tablet).
