You are assuming that:

1. It will be honored 2. It will not be changed to default during update

I'd be more worried that the TV would just say "T&C acceptance is required to use this product, please return me to the store" and turn itself off

you can easily tell if anything has changed every time you turn the TV on, plus, I haven't hooked them up to the internet

Sorry for the late response.

Do you check every setting on your phone/tv/pc after you boot it up? It seems very impractical to me.

As a user, I assume that unless I explicitly changed something, my setup remains the same. I used to be able to trust that manufacturers won't try anything too stupid, but at that time the cost in performance, gear and PR was sufficient and incentive to sell information on you was not as prevalent.
