How can I move the Watchlist to the top of my home screen?

This question has been asked previously and was never addressed or resolved. The previous post shown below is closed now and cannot be commented upon further (?). Why is the discussion closed when users are likely to come here looking for help and advice?

Finding the watchlist currently takes me 14 touches on the remote, combined total of clicks and swipes. So I'd like to move it to the top of my home screen but I cannot find any instruction on how the user can do this.

how do I find my watchlist on Apple TV+?

There should be a Watchlist section on the Apple TV app. The current system, where you have to scroll through your “Continue Watching” section to find the items you’ve added to your watchlist, is inconvenient.

I have spoken with Tech Support and submitted my concern in Apple Feedback. Maybe if enough users submit feedback asking for a separate watchlist section, Apple will add it.

So the best move here is rather but you can change your "Top Shelf" item to show "Continue Watching", and the Continue Watching sequence now includes things you have added to your Watchlist. Of course if you've queued a movie to rent later, you're not really continuing anything, as you haven't yet rented or started it.

Watchlist remains in its current position, and it seems impossible to reach for review without the dozen or more touches mentioned in the preceding comment. Watchlist shows the items newly added but curiously does not show all that Continue Watching shows.

There might be some explanation for this, but I doubt it's satisfying to the customer when the current setup is so counterintuitive.
