If only it didn't require me to buy a newer iPhone or iPad to validate my account.

Pretty sure you don’t need one. I’ll look into it later tonight and get back to you though

Edit: tried resetting my Apple TV with a throw away account not linked to other Apple devices. Worked fine

In order to update my Apple TV, they tell me I have to have a newer phone.

Now you can use it, but guess what is required for future app updates? Later OS updates. It's a trap.

I don’t know how to fix your problem but I am curious about it.

I assume you have an old iPhone tied to your iCloud account. What happens if you untie that phone and wait like a day (some iCloud stuff is weird and can take about 24 hours to update server side info)
