    You don’t pay for those features, you pay less than the device would sell for without them because it’s a trade-off, sell for less but profit off features, that’s why the cheaper models have more bloat.

      If these features wouldn’t be implemented in the first place, they would be even cheaper.

      In the last about 5 years there was no innovation whatsoever in the TV market. Yet, there’s more and more bloat, more “smart” shit nobody needs and higher prices.

        No. They would not. The bloat that comes with any new tech device is there specifically because it gives the company selling it more money. Windows is really easy to install with no bloat, but practically every laptop manufacturer installs a bunch of junk like mcaffee on it. They sure as hell don’t do that because they tibk it’ll actually help the laptop work better.

        No innovation? TVs have better picture quality every year and you pretend nothing’s changed in the last 5 years? 🤔
