True. SmartTV's may appear simple, but I am fairly certain that their simplicity crumbles for most users quickly.
Say, once a user just wants to play games on a console and has to wait for a TV to boot and prompt you to install updates, when a user wants to use AppleTV instead of Android TV, or when they want to upgrade the smarts.
I think the man reason people think this is simpler is that manufacturers force it down consumers' throats as this setup sells more units due to planned obsolescence.
