It would be nice if playing music "everywhere" w/ Siri from HomePod caused it to play on Apple TV. I realize this might not be a desirable default since the Apple TV is primarily used to play video, but it would be nice if it were at least a configurable option.

This is good to know. Thanks

Engineering has determined that this issue behaves as intended based on the following information:
Actually, this was discussed extensively as part of the design review process and the ultimate decision made was that ATV’s are secondary devices to HomePods. As a compromise the utterance “Play music on all of my devices” will include the Apple TV. We may revisit this at a later point, but for now design is pretty firm on this behavior. Hope that helps!
