And yet, Apple TV had personalized preroll promos long before this, hence my minor curiosity.
Now, to be clear, pre- and post-roll content injection is fundamentally easier than midroll (e.g. most streaming ads) because you don't need to worry about lining up with a segment boundary in the stream: the stream hasn't started yet, so just slap some video in there *before* you start and you're good to go!
