There was mention of the ITV Hub app (the actual app, not a Hub labelled folder tile/shortcut) being added the other day. I speculated at the time that because we have the STV Player app in Scotland we wouldn't be getting it. However it occurred to me there might be a flaw in my thinking.

That, glaringly obvious, flaw is ITV being more than one channel and STV Player not covering ITV2/ITV3/ITV4/ITVBe/CITV.

There is hardly likely to be a restricted version of the Hub app, only for Scotland on VM, just covering those channels, and I find it unlikely that ITV would want to keep having Folders on VM's systems when the rest of the UK on VM is getting it direct from them on the internet.

I can definitely see VM wanting all the catch-up services delivered via apps rather than them hosting them, it gives them less to deal with and passes the responsibility elsewhere. They can then then concentrate on delivering other on-demand content.
