My TV doesn't get connected to the internet.

If I connect it then eventually it will update to a version of the OS that is slow, buggy and all the apps will be out of support regardless.

If I airgap the TV and use a computer it is good until too many pixels burn out or someone yeets something into it.

do we have ads in computer monitors yet? monitors often have mediocre speakers so people that weren't going to bring their own sound system have that option

Even when you are paying for the product you are still the product.

There are/were already TVs that automatically connect to any public WiFi or even have their own SIM card.
