Smart TV retail prices are subsidized by revenue from data analytics on content search and viewing.

Web browsers are subsidized (free) by search (ad) revenue.

I would rather pay more for a TV than have it subsidized by ads. Or even better, a TV with no smart features, then I can just connect a computer for whatever smarts I want.
