How is it that it's been well known that smart TVs will show ads and spy on you for over 10 years, and yet people are still connecting their TVs to their WiFi rather than get a separate dedicated streaming device?

I don't expect the manufacturers to change.
I do expect people to change though.

Most people just don't care. It doesn't matter to them that their TV sends reports back to Mother.
