I got a new LG SmartTV about a week ago. Before it, I actually was on the same side of being annoyed by SmartTVs, but this one is actually a pretty smooth experience. I tossed out my Fire stick. I think TV manufacturers are, necessarily, going to keep working on the kinks. I don't think SmartTVs are an inherently bad idea, they just needed polish.

An issue like OP posted shows the problem with SmartTVs - they need to be updated. If your SmartTV manufacturer wants to stop supporting an 'app', or can't handle the new specs for said app, you need to buy a new TV to keep your expected functionality. Whereas, if your FireTV stopped supporting an app, you could upgrade your FireTV for a fraction of the cost of upgrading your entire TV.
