My PS5 will randomly steal the input from my LG TV's internal smart apps. My Nintendo Switch does whatever it feels like doing at random.
Frankly I find the technology to be a total mess, and there's no way to debug it.

The PS5<>LG interaction is fucked. The TV will wake up all its devices when one of them does, and the PS5 will grab the input even if it wasn't the initiator.
You can disable this in config, but it's all-or-nothing: now the PS5 can't wake the TV at all.
Attempting to report the misbehavior to LG and Sony is like shouting into the void. They don't care, or it's the other entity's problem, or both.
Exactly the same on PS5 <> Philips TV. Needed to turn it off completely.
Wow, sounds like a dream. I had it happen ONCE that my chromecast-with-googleTV did NOT turn on the TV screen when streaming spotify.
Also my xbox turns on the TV, but that never turns on the speaker bar.

Sony TV as well, I guess.
However, I think that the issue is that CEC support has never been 100% reliable and interoperable. My TV is also made by Sony, which likely helps with compatibility. Probably all these devices work well with some TVs and not others, despite everything claiming to support CEC.
