Smart TVs are anything but. Slow, bloated, and hey look, a bunch of unpatched and actively exploited vulnerabilities with no way to patch, as the anemic computer driving it is already beyond vendor support, but locked down. Yeah. That's exactly what I want: a crypto miner bot in my living room.
The only "smart" part of "smart TV" is "hey, we can charge much more if we stick a $5 compute module inside!"

Personally, I have a RPi running Kodi, plugged into $anytv (quite literally, no idea what the model is, as long as it supports HDMI).
TL;DR: because not everybody is you (i.e. has same requirements and preferences). Deal with it.
