The tech world has lost its mind.

As to 'why would anyone buy that' the answer is the same as what they
did with "smart TVs."  They stop making the other kind, and you get
stuck with it.

I'm holding onto a TV I bought in 2016 because it's missing all that
smart stuff, it just shows you whatever came in on the HDMI cable,
nothing else.

The tech world needs to go back to solving actual problems rather than
figuring out how to show ads on every conceivable surface.  Hey silicon
valley, FUCK YOU!
