How to improve the user experience of Sony 4K HDR TV range with Android TV

My Sony KD-55XD9305 nicely hangs on the wall. I love the beautifully designed slim TV. However, I would like to see the improvements listed bellow with a future software upgrade as the usability is poor and not straight forward;
 
1) Make all catch up TV apps run independently of Youview.
2) Make Satellite and Freeview the main and favoured viewing option not Youview.
3) We do not want Youview if "HDD recording (REC) and Satellite features are not available if the YouView functionality is enabled".
4) Introduce more options to the 'Action Menu' like the 'sleep timer' and the 'favourite channel list'
5) Introduce PIP/PAP with the next Android N upgrade.
6) Consider Freesat's Freetime.
7) Enable satellite channel scan without having to go through the initial set up, only the digital channels can be scanned now thanks to the rubbish decision to incorporate Youview.
😎 Fully sync the user interface with the remote, feels like left behind abruptly halfway.
9) Consider a new romote layout, it is more usefull to have a dedicated button for the 'Favourite Channel List' than does for Netflix.
10) If wanted to have Youview as an optional app but not deeply integrated to the OS system as is now, we have no option of viewing all indepentent chatch up TV apps without it.
11) Introduce Google Chrome
12) Both digital and satellite guides are buggy, the screen goes blank, freezes, there is a lathency and programme information is not present in salellite guide. 
13) Currenlty, you can organise the 'Favourite Channel List', however there is no way of accessing it I know of.  

All in all we would like to see a better user interface without Youview or for those who do not want to compromise on Satellite features due to Youview. Do we really need Youview? NO.

Thank you.
