I don't own a smart TV because every smart TV I've used has been in an airbnb and they are generally sluggish to the point of being unusable. Even my plug-in Roku has gotten to this point. I don't understand what it could be. Memory leaks? It's totally bizarre

Planned obsolescence. We should really make that practice illegal at some point... but we are too busy imposing people to get rid of they perfectly reliable 20 years old petrol cars to buy crappy new electric cars that will break for a software update and will end up in a landfill...
Poor software development is my theory.
