That’s very true. I don’t mean they should run their own Linux on their TV’s or something, I’m more like…not having a smart TV at all must be better than this abomination.
You have to spend a multiple of a smart TV and buy a commercial TV (as in the type of TVs businesses use for display) to ensure a dumb tv if you can’t lobotomize it yourself.
So I have one of these pos “onn.” Wal Mart brand Roku tvs. It was legitimately the cheapest 40 something inch tv (250bucks?) they had to offer, I did not realize that the smart part isn’t like an input it’s the home screen every time u power it on. Had I known, I would have spent up to 100 bucks MORE to just have a regular ass TV. Live and learn I suppose.
They “don’t have” the technical expertise or energy to avoid it.

Insanity ensues
Smart TV is basically what most people would buy if not an apple TV. Amazon and Roku sticks are still around.

You should get a Google TV one. You can select basic TV mode and it lets you set it up without Wi-Fi and has the option to power on to last input.
