Why does nobody talk about how smart TVs actually get slower over time

I bought a TCL Roku TV 3 years ago and it worked great at first. Now it takes a full 45 seconds just to open Netflix. My friend told me to just buy a new one, but I spent $450 on this thing. Shouldn't a TV last longer than a pair of shoes? Anyone else dealing with their TV getting laggy after a couple years?

$450 for a TV that dies in 3 years? I’d be furious.

Well the TV isn't really dead, the processor just gets bogged down with app updates.
