I’ve noticed the same thing and it really surprised me too. It feels like most smart TVs these days come with some kind of ads or pre-installed apps you can’t fully get rid of. From what I’ve seen, it’s just how a lot of brands make extra money now.

Some are less annoying than others though. Sony and LG seem a bit cleaner and using your own streaming box (like Apple TV or Roku) helps a lot because you can avoid the built-in menus. But sadly, it does seem pretty normal now across most smart TVs.
This is what many would have to deal with if they desire the benefits of smart TVs. Commercialisation is increasing and most of these companies are looking for ways to make more money through it. The worst part is that they don't give a cent how users feel.
