People who rant about how terrible it is that you can't buy a non-Smart TV any more.
You know you don't have to plug the TV into the Internet, right?
I've got two. One acts as a big monitor for my laptop. The other one has a media player box & games console connected.
You're allowed to use a heavily subsidised device in a different manner from which it was intended.
True, but there is the possibility they will automatically connect to any open wifi around you.

I mean, sure. And maybe they have snuck in a SIM card and cellular radio, or perhaps a satellite phone, or sending psychic signals back to the manufacturer 🤔
If you're at that level of paranoia, wrap your TV in tinfoil.
(Also, where in the world are you that your neighbours have open WiFi?)
I mean, sure, it is not like we have a history of them doing sneaky things....🤔

1.Many business have open wifi. Many people live close to those business.
2.Clueless people + semi-clueless people who support clueless people and are tired of the calls asking for the password.
3. People who proclaim privacy is not important because "I have nothing to hide". Aka clueless people.
