The TV industry is notorious for the telemetry generated by "smart" TVs.
Commercial "dumb" TV screens are available but are harder to find, and as I said, it's only recently that large computer LCDs (not TVs) have become available. But these are still not as large as recent gigantic smart TVs.
So when most people want a bigger screen, they see little choice but to accept telemetry. The more privacy-aware people take measures against it.

This is mostly because Roku/etc are subsidizing the cost of the device so far down the line that it becomes impossible to argue for the better ones, especially from companies like NEC/Sharp who make Damn Good displays for business.
