So basically what you’re saying is that you want your “smart” TV experience to be just like a desktop PC experience. That’s fair, if that’s what you want and if that works for you. For most users however that would make the TV impossible to use with a regular, simple remote and thus be a major downgrade in user experience. Basically what it seems like (to me at least) is that people who buy “smart” devices don’t want them to be smart in terms of having advanced capabilities. Rather they want the devices to be smart enough to do the right things in a simplified UI, allowing the user to get the same things done, but with less effort. Basically smart devices are smart to allow the user to be lazy, dumb or both ;)

Yeah another way to say it is that I want my smart devices to be general computing devices. For example I've build my own NAS instead of getting something like a Synology or a WD NAS, I'm in the process of building a router/firewall using OPNsense etc. I spend more in the short term but less in the long term due to the ability to reuse old parts etc. > Basically smart devices are smart to allow the user to be lazy, dumb or both ;) ahah yeah I see your point.
