Economies of scale, and subsidies. TVs that ship with Netflix buttons on the remote, Prime Video app, and built-in crappy ads all over the place are being subsidized by those companies.
Meanwhile, no one is buying non-smart TVs, so lower quantities are more expensive.
(Or they know that non-smart TVs are a niche product that they can charge more for.)
