The solution that works for me. I use one of the old laptop/tablets that's lying around the house, plug it into the tv hdmi, buy one of the many bluetooth keyboards with a trackpad and use it as a remote.

Advantages are that I don't buy any hardware, I know it works with any streaming service, I don't need a smart tv, I don't need to struggle typing in passwords and search terms using a tv remote. And, not once have I felt - oh I wish I had a roku or chromecast or whatever, and something would have been better.

There is an issue with quality, if that matters to you. I might be the only person who cares about Dolby Vision/Atmos, but it's supported only by a limited cross section of streaming service x device x app version.
