Or desolder the (chip) antena which is usually easy notice on the board.

Aren't Samsung's QLED TV remotes Bluetooth only? Cutting the antenna would then also disable the remote and a modern TV without a remote is pretty useless.

It's clear that the only solution is not to buy a TV.

Couldn't desoldering the antenna lead to it overheating and damaging components?

Not really. 10 minutes of practice with some scrap wires would give enough soldering skills to remove it safely. The sibling comment about the Bluetooth remote worries me more
