Apps wouldn’t be hidden, other than being in a non-obvious location on the Home Screen.

Apps can be installed and deleted; there is no “show|hide” on tvOS 9 or later. To install apps, get them from the on-device App Store. To delete apps, do the delete procedure. Deleted apps can be re-installed at any time. This hasn’t changed in any of the last OS versions.

Find apps in the Apple TV App Store - Apple Support

Delete an app - Customize the Apple TV Home Screen - Apple Support

re: non-obvious location: Right you are!!! Found the "missing" Netflix icon in the second window of a Folder. Moved it back to the Home Screen. Somebody moved it (and 3 other icons) into the folder when I wasn't looking, making it more than the 9 icons the Folder can show in the main window, so a second, non-obvious, window was created. Stuff like that can happen when you have 6 Apple TVs in the house (everyone thinks they are in charge). Thanks.
