That just moves the problem to a different company. None of which is any better in the long run.

So then don't connect the TV to anything I guess. Except a PC running jellyfin or Kodi.

Cheaper to replace. And in case of Android TV also more open.

How about a nice RPi500 as a media center?

Depends what you are consuming. Your local library? Sure (if you have a nice way for remote control). If you want Netflix, Prime, etc, then missing DRM is an issue (between missing and super hacky).
