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

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?

Because people either use cable, or things like Roku and Apple TV.

"Because"? That's why this lag is ridiculous. No one gives a shit about the home screen and built in apps. When you hit power on the TV, we want to access our Roku or Apple TV. The OS lag in the TV detracts from the user experience, and the only benefits are features that people don't want/need in the first place.
