A GPU is a component, not a complete system.
For laptops and smartphones, sure being stolen a common risk, and that kind of functionality grants the end-user some protection, and perhaps a chance to recover the good.
For TVs and motherboards, GPUs, printers, etc it's basically superfluous DRM that typically only serves the manufacturer.
Overall Smart TVs have been the polar opposite of user-respecting technology.
