You may have a different tv market but I don’t think it’s even possible to buy a dumb tv from a store anymore. I was able to get one pre-covid, I haven’t been able to find one since then.
I assume you meant to send this to the egg guy? Their point was that it’s closed source so you can’t trust it, so why would you trust it?
Speaking only for myself I just put the tv on an old router with my media server. Media server has a second connection to the internet. Tv thinks it’s connected to something but just doesn’t have internet access. That’s good enough for me. If they are jumping through that many hoops to learn I rewatch old tv shows from the 2000s I sure hope they get value from that knowledge.

You can set up Google TV, WebOS and Tizen TVs without WiFi and just use the HDMI ports.
