That's not really what's being talked about, though. The fear is that if you don't connect your TV to your wifi network, it will have a secret, hidden LTE radio that it uses anyway.

It doesn't seem that Huawei is being at all secretive about this; they are advertising it as a feature.

You're ignoring the part where Samsung TVs are actively connecting to open networks.
