So you like the non-smart TVs?
I actually like the smart features and internet connectivity that current TVs have.  Sometimes I like to watch streaming content from Netflix or Amazon Prime video, etc.  There's even some interesting content on YouTube, and I think being able to stream YouTube on a TV has made it even easier to watch (although my computer chair is comfortable, our TV chairs and couch are even more comfortable), and sometimes it's nice to be able to watch that stuff on a bigger screen too.

Also, the 'smart' functionality allows things like being able to stream videos & music from a home server (such as Plex) without having to use a disc or plug in a USB drive.
