I agree with what you are saying ideologically, but practically:

- Streaming services often work better with native TV apps than external devices, especially in regards to frame consistency and HDR support.

- The upscaling/interpolation ASICs in TVs are really good. Until very recently, especially on streaming services, PC and Android upscaling was not good.

Hence I dont really want a "dumb" TV/Monitor anymore unless I will never watch any kind of video content on it... mostly because of streaming DRM, which is also awful, but still.

In which case this question is not for you I suppose.

this kind of comment is exactly what GP was speaking against…

you’re allowed your preferences, but recognize that they aren’t universal and try not to steamroll over someone else’s divergent preferences.
