I don’t even understand the pitch? you have the disc playing, in your hands, your ownership, no buffering, no subscription required. and they’re saying…hey do you want a worse experience?

If this were true, the few remaining “dumb TVs” (e.g. from
SpectreSceptre) wouldn’t be cost-competitive, but they are.This abusive shit isn’t subsidizing the cost of the TV; it’s just padding the manufacturer’s profits.
Edit: the company isn’t named after the villainous org from James Bond
Spectre TVs are cheap because they compete at a lower tier and are priced to attract buyers to what is essentially an unknown brand.
Unless they’re also giving up important quality/features (other than the “smart” misfeature, that is), I don’t see how that matters.
