Just as long as you never have any guests that want to be helpful and connect it to the Internet either via your guest wifi or their own phone's hotspot so they can watch their Netflix or whatever on it.

Or you accidentally connect it to your streaming box (Apple TV, Roku) with an HDMI cable with Ethernet:

The streaming box will have to be complicit and act like an ethernet switch or NAT router (in case of Wi-Fi not supporting WDS so can't be bridged) to passthrough the connection.
There's no reason to believe this won't be a configurable option on the box itself, but this is a moot point because I have yet to see anything in the wild actually supporting Ethernet over HDMI.
