Agreed. You shouldn’t have to trust that some third party software built into your TV won’t abuse your trust and shut everything down until you do what it’s owners want.
I’ve got an external Roku and if it starts being a dick, I can just unplug it and toss it in the trash and I still have a working TV.

Smart person here.
The Roku that I purchased 6 years ago just bricked itself until I agreed to forced arbitration. This, of course, has nothing to do with the data breach they just announced.
