So instead of just removing the root cause of the problem, you'd rather leave the problem in place and then maintain a permanent workaround that has to run someplace else?

Yes, the "permanent workaround" is literally permanent, it works all the time while the jailbreak solution works only when the vulnerabilities are not patched by LG.

I also prefer keeping my tv software up to date with patching, I don't want to jailbreak and keep the tv software at the specific vulnerable version.
