Here is the exact announcement from Google regarding this new development.
Starting 6/15/2021, the Google Play Movies & TV app will no longer be available on Roku, Samsung, LG, and Vizio smart TVs. The YouTube app will be your new home for movies and shows. Just log in with your Google account in the YouTube app today, you’ll have access to all of your past purchases, and will be able to browse, purchase, and rent new content.
Though the initial announcement which has been now is only for few brands , slowly it will kill the Google Play Movies and TV app over a period of time making all the users to switch to Youtube App for buying, renting the movie.
