It's only half a joke though. I have a Roku TV where they didn't bother putting some of the advanced picture controls in the OSD. You have to use an app instead. Guess what? The app doesn't work on my Android phone and I wouldn't be able to adjust picture settings on my TV if I didn't have an iPad to use instead. What happens if they turn that app into a subscription service because they don't like the cost of maintaining it? I'm pretty cynical and I didn't even consider the possibility of needing an app to control my TV when I bought it. Now I know to watch out for it, but device manufacturers aren't exactly going out of their way to advertise cost cutting measures that make you dependent on something you have no control of (ie: apps).
