My 2018 Sony X900F behaves similarly. Have never connected it to the internet, and its near-stock Android TV install doesn’t nag me about that. When I turn it on it starts on the last used input and you don’t see any “smart” UI unless you explicitly summon it with the home button on the TV remote.

I’ve been using it with an Apple TV 4K and it’s been great.

My TV (TCL) also switches to the last input, but it first has to boot into Android, which takes some time. :(

(I know I could leave the TV on standby but I don't like doing that, especially just to work around poorly designed software.)
