Price. Smart TVs are cheaper, whether you care about the "smarts" or not. https://www.statista.com/forecasts/1283880/global-television-price-per-unit https://www.statista.com/forecasts/1283880/global-television... The average TV costs $333. Put another way, the average consumer is spending $333 on their TV (I think that's a correct inference?). At that price you can get a pretty large 4K LCD panel supporting HDR. I think you'd be hard pressed to find a competitor at that price point, and I'm guessing you spent significantly more than that on your setup. I'm sure that choice made sense for you, but you're not the average consumer.
