Exactly.
"Sometimes, when I have a problem - I throw a molitov cocktail. Then pretty soon, I have a completely different problem!" - Jason, The Good Place
(Referring to blocking Samsung's telemety, by embracing Google's or Apple's. Honestly, I trust Apple the most of the three, but I don't thrive inside a walled garden, myself.)
The difference is, if the TV box does something I don't like, I can unplug it and plug something else in. If the TV does something you don't like, theres nothing you can do to stop it.
Case in point, Roku's forced arbitration nonsense. If your TV was disconnected, there's no way they can force any changes at all on you.
Agreed. It's definitely an improvement.
