> You are, in reality, only hurting the actual owners

How many times do I have to hurt them before they decide to buy a different smart TV?

Seriously, that's like saying "if you try to stop your neighborhood rodent problem by getting citations sent to people with cat food on their porch, you're just hurting the innocent outdoor cat owners". They're participating, whether they know it or not. We can and should PSA and shame and regulate away residential proxies on the supplier side, but we can and should also simultaneously discourage them on the end-user side as well.
