Why aren't there any manufacturers that see a market opportunity and produce a TV with no spyware / invasive telemetry etc.? Are these data sharing deals so lucrative for them?

Is everyone seeing their product as a potential advertising platform?

Per one of the comments above I just learned that Sceptre produces dumb TVs. I will be going this route.

Also your question is your answer.

Yeah maybe as long as everyone's doing it. But as soon as one sheep leaves the flock the walls will come tumbling down.
