Okay cool. But can they be user serviceable, repairable and/ or dumb, as in not connected to WiFi. I'd much rather just connect my Xbox, Kodi box, jellyfin or PC to my TV and use those to access my media, rather than do it on the TV. Can we bring back pretty, dumb, repairable TVs? Please and Thank you.

Don't give them a phone until they are prepared to see everything the Internet has. Kids can be smart and will find ways around the blocks you put in place.

This is a good point.

If they just move the functionality of control panel to settings, I fail to see why this is such an issue.

The only way this'd be a big deal is if they removed control panel without moving those functions to the settings app. Then it'd be annoying at least. Is that the case here?
