Er, FUNimation bought Crunchyroll, not the other way around.

Sony Pictures Entertainment and AT&T announced on Monday that Sony's Funimation Global Group has completed its acquisition of Crunchyroll from AT&T. The purchase price was US$1.175 billion, and the proceeds were paid in cash at closing.

Funimation Global Group later rebranded itself as Crunchyroll, LLC, but Crunchyroll (the streaming service) still exists as-is. Wikipedia has this note.

Crunchyroll, LLC operates but does not directly own the brand's namesake OTT streaming platform. Instead, both the company and service are owned by a joint venture between Sony Pictures Entertainment and Sony Music Entertainment Japan (through Aniplex).

While it’s not ideal, Funimation did technically release Pyrophoric Cult…

Ugh I can't keep track of the all the GiTS stuff. So is this the only way to get that ep with subtitles? https://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/BCXA-999

What other company would’ve brought New Generation Pictures back and finish the series with their well-regarded cast? Seems like a poor trade off for a few shorts that don’t really contribute to the main plot. Plus there’s no guarantee Sentai or Viz would’ve included or dubbed them either. There may have been some sort of licensing issue.

Plus, I think FUNimation was the only post-Geneon company to license from NBCUniversal Japan.

Sentai and Discotek has in more recent years but back when Ultimate was still ongoing? Probably

Hellsing was probably even on the same contract as Black Lagoon, A Certain Magical Index/Scientific Railgun, Tenchi Muyo, and Shakugan no Shana.

How do you watch it not on Apple TV and is it dubbed?

I ask because I only do Ghost in the Shell dubbed.

You can import the Japanese Blu-ray which has English subs.

Pyrophoric Cult hasn’t been dubbed into English and likely never will.

Unfortunately, not dubbed. I prefer GITS dubbed myself, I have the JPN BD. You don't need an AppleTV to watch it or even an apple device. On Windows you used to be able to download iTunes from MS store, set up an appleID thru the app, buy music, movies, tv shows and watch it on your PC. I haven't done it since Windows 10 first dropped so don't know if anything has changed or how it works with Windows 11. But you could search MS store for iTunes and see if it still works, I expect it should there are people that have both PCs and iphones/iPads Apple would want to service those people too.
