instead of getting a smart tv, get a big monitor, get an old/weak computer, get a tv tuner card, connect the computer to the big monitor and enjoy anything and everything.

I just read an article on Samsung smart refrigerators doing ads now. How irritating, I am glad the dumb fridge still works. My smart tv, is not set up for internet. Just waiting for Sony to magically connect. /s

Even the best-designed interface is going to be what someone else envisioned the UX should be. It's like you're logging into someone else's computer or phone every time you use it. What's intuitive to them is almost never going to be intuitive to you. That's why simpler but functional will always be popular unless they add a feature you actually wanted to begin with.
