Kind of a weak argument.
The people that are working on these devices aren't idiots and they realize that input is a problem.
Many cable operators are exploring the use of smart phones as remote (in fact the Google TV demo used and android phone as its data entry device).
Vizio TV's are putting keyboards in their remotes as well.
What most people designing apps for TV realizes is that apps that require heavy user input don't work well so they instead design apps that work around these restrictions. Its a challenge but not one that is insurmountable. No one is trying to turn your TV into a PC replacement they're just trying to extend its capabilities a bit.
