Xfinity Stream App Playback Preferences are different on Amzon Fire TV Stick 4K vs Laptop version

There appears to be a difference between my laptop version of the Streaming App (shown above) and the version I added to my Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K to work with my older (2016 LG TV model 55UH7700B). The laptop version has more playback preferences buttons, whereas the Fire Stick only has “Play Best Available”.

Why the difference? Are there 2 different versions? Please advise.

The above image is from my Fire TV Stick 4K, and it only shows "Play Best Available". The image is kinda funky, converted from HEIC to JPEG.

Have you seen this before?

I appreciate any help you can provide.
