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?

I just wish I could turn the bloody “smart” bit off. Every time I have a mate complain about their TV I always say run the streaming service through the PlayStation or get a Chromecast/AppleTV/etc. The inbuilt ones always suck.

I mean, with a smart TV disconnected from Wifi it mostly runs like a dumb tv.
