It really is maddening how slow these expensive ass smart TVs are. Updating the software at all is often enough to make them nearly unusable

Not to mention the hilariously tiny storage space. My TV came out in 2022, and has 8 freaking gigabytes of storage space. That's right, eight. Before I removed all the pre-installed bloat with ADB, it barely had enough space left to install one app fresh out of the box. It's like these smart TV manufacturers expect people to only use the built-in apps and nothing else ever.
