Research direction

Reproduce the controller limit on AppleTV using the listed RetroArch 1.19.1 build, then trace the GamePad Settings path and controller enumeration behavior. Compare connecting three versus four or more GamePads; done means four or more can connect and appear in GamePad Settings without regressing existing controller support.
