Except they don’t do that either. I’m not aware of any TV that bundles a 5G modem. Are you?

  almost all new cars have cellular modems reporting all kinds of shit, something like over 90% of new cars. what makes you think tv companies aren’t? even the ones that aren’t yet, we’d be incredibly incredibly naive to think it’s not on their radar.

    For one, you can take apart your TV and see that it doesn't have a SIM card

      Can you spot a device like this : https://www.intersign.dk/cdn/shop/products/868e2a0dce897d05afc0a7cafdf4c974.jpg https://www.intersign.dk/cdn/shop/products/868e2a0dce897d05a... The linked image shows a module meant for easy integration, but it could also simply be a part of the main board of the TV. They could "hide" the GSM antenna alongside the wifi antenna.

    Cars having 5G connectivity is something that consumers actually want, it’s well documented on the spec sheets and marketing material, and obviously in a car WiFi is not going to work in most places. None of those things apply to TVs.
