I ask myself this exact question about any and all vendors of machines running Windows 10. Still don't have a good answer other than they do it because there is no law to stop them and it's profitable. I mean why else would a business do this or anything for that matter? The justification therefore must be profit at all costs. The cost here is personal data. The cost in other industries are human lives. Companies enriching themselves at others' expense is the foundation of our society. What companies like Microsoft and Vizio are saying is that the price of the tv is the dollar cost plus a lifetime of data collection. Of course, there's no need to connect to the internet in case of these tvs. People running Windows technically have the same option but it's not such a good solution in that case.
