Yes, I have noticed my TV slowing and I'm likely going to go back to my Roku for it now that the kids are old enough and don't need to use Alexa to do everything. On the performance note: they do care about performance, but like Apple, are tailoring their software updates toward the latest and greatest available hardware, not what you bought years ago. Is planned obsolescence at the heart of their decision making? Probably not, but it's a definite side benefit I'm positive.
