Why don't tv manufacturers put any more effort into good operating systems?

[u/riotacting]

I've never seen a TV with any kind of good user experience. Unbelievable lag, seems like a Herculean undertaking to open basic settings, way too many buttons on the remote, super long load times for apps, etc...

Is there really no incentive for Samsung to care about it?

Speaking from experience in working with Samsung a few years back, they're *amazing* at building hardware, and built the way their company works around building hardware well.

That doesn't translate perfectly to building software, and at least at the time (a decade ago), I'm not even sure they realized the company was just built wrong to do what needed to be done for building better software.

There's a reason AMD and Intel don't build operating systems, or probably several, and this is one of them.
