Every TV is a dumb TV of you don't connect it to the internet.
I do recall there being tvs with baked-in ads that play on startup even without internet service, but i was unable to easily find the reference. Also, many smart tv interfaces are much slower than dumb tv on-screen menus, so there is that.
Exactly, why do people even bother?
