Putting Android TV into "basic TV" mode pretty much does that. Disable the internet connection for sure, but that's a cheaper option than going for those business display models that will charge you through the nose.
Android TV itself is open source, and I've seen a few people running LineageOS on their TVs. Anyone can make a TV OS based on it and it comes with an SDK already, but nobody is incentivised to do it.

- ewoodrich 2y agoI didn't even bother using ADB with Projectify launcher from the Play Store (it just has a couple settings I needed to enable to take over the home button) and I haven't seen the default launcher once. I am using an Onn Pro 4k on my main TV (for Ethernet) and CCwGTV on the others. Incredibly snappy setup with detailed customization options, I switched all my TVs over to use it. I also recommend Button Remapper to customize the remote app buttons to your liking.
