I suspect this is false and the ads and tracking enabled by smart TVs are instrumental in getting the price down.
Price sensitivity on TVs I suspect is one of the main drivers of this.
Still, I think there’s a real niche for someone to make a tv focused on the HN market. Call the company “dumb electronics”. db even has a pleasing symmetry to it for a logo imo. Focus on speed to boot and switch inputs, optionally sell it as a package with an Apple TV, make it premium and OLED. Basically the tv apple would build if they decided too.
The current best option in the tv market is the LG OLED, but it’s smart and still leaves a lot to be desired.
