There's always going to be enough of a "dumb TV" market among the elderly / linear-only / no internet crowd to make that an extremely bad idea.

Sure, some (high-end) TVs might do this, but definitely not all of them.

Dumb tvs exist today; they just sell for a premium to make up for the lost adtech sales revenue.

I suspect this will continue. Ads and no privacy for poor people. The wealthy & well educated will have tvs that don’t spy on them.
