It's a constant war, and most people don't care.
The options are thus
1) Pay big bucks to avoid it (buying 42" monitors rather than 42" TVs)
2) Do clever things to work around it via cat and mouse (pihole, blocking traffic, wire mesh, desolder the 5g modem, etc)
3) Persuade people to care, so that a company starts building TVs at more reasonable prices but without the data capture
This is a consequence of the fully optimised state of capitalism we live in

Most of my social circle equipped their houses with listening devices at every turn so my describing issues related to smart tv sound to them.. not even sure what. I am not even sure it registers as a valid complaint. At least with my objection to shoving ice cream cake into my 1 year old they listen. With electronics I might as well speak Swahili.
