Bitwarden not available on TCL Android TV

Hi, this is a first post from a new Bitwarden user. After much research, Bitwarden seemed to be the most respected and recommended password manager. I have been pleased with its use on my Windows laptop and Android mobile.

However, I got a real shock this evening when I tried to load Bitwarden onto my TCL Android Smart TV. “Bitwarden Password Manager by Bitwarden Inc. isn’t available on Google Play on this device” ,
Could someone with greater experience than I please explain why not, and if there is a work-around, other than moving to one of the ten password managers listed as available for installation.

Or is this just a repeat of the VHS/Betamax debacle…
