It may be them either not trespassing their territory (as a part of a deal or as a precaution) or TV apps sharing\telegraphing that info without the need of screen cap analysis as they work on TV itself and may as well be special modified apks. At least, they differed
Laptop sends only it’s video and audio outputs, apps’ code executes at it’s hardware, so TV needs a workaround to know what you are watching. And as it’s incapable of such analysis itself, it channels that data to it’s real owner.

No, the point here is that if you use the “smart” features, which includes running apps from their appstore, like Netflix or Disney+, it will not send the data. But if you connect your laptop via HDMI and then play Netflix in your browser, it will, because it’s not smart enough to recognize and differentiafe video and audio data coming in through that port. I don’t think it matters if it’s a DRM enabled browser or not. It should be acting as a second monitor only in those cases, nothing more.
