If you do all your shopping in brick-and-mortar stores that only carry expensive Samsung and LG TVs, I'd believe that. But there's a wealth of "dumb" TVs available online and even in big-box stores like Best Buy and Walmart.

I'd say if someone is savvy enough to know they don't want a "smart" TV, they will know where to look for a good deal.

Unfortunately, it seems there are no 4K dumb TVs :-(

Sure there are. Twenty seconds on Amazon yielded this:

That's at the budget end of the spectrum, but there are non-"smart" 4K TVs among the better brands as well. This site has reviews of several low to high-end 4K TVs:

Or, you could get a 4K computer monitor, and an HDMI splitter to port the sound over to your surround system. There are always options.
