@stephlahs thing is, in that case you can just plug an external thing in and get up to date apps that support whatever's new and hot. but the TV's smart features mean you get seamless integrated stuff out of the box, for free, for typically at least a decade after launch (hell, even my shitty old TV that runs an ancient build of Tizen OS still supports YouTube, Plex, Netflix, and Prime) so you aren't losing anything by having them there too, except for the case where they shove them full of ads.
