What a weird comment. I use my TV to watch YouTube, Twitch, my Plex instance, and some local TV channels replays (M6, TF1, Arte…).

I connect it to the internet to use the internet, not sure what you’re expecting?

TV manufactures are known to slurp up all this data while also providing these apps on underpowered systems. Many techie's recommend hooking up an external media box to your TV and not providing internet directly to the tv.
Smart TV's are famously a massive privacy and data theft trojan horse.

Connecting your tv to the internet is quite frankly insane.
