I have a related question: how feasible is it that a smart TV with wifi turned off can access the wifi connection of connected devices? E.g. a firestick, in my case.

I'm a web developer by day, my gut says a TV probably shouldn't be able to override a literal on/off setting, but I also know that a software setting is barely enforceable at all.

This is such a wildly stupid take. If you have reasons something should be known to be bad, you should tell those reasons to people. You may sway existing users that were native, or people who don't use it and wouldn't, after hearing your reasons.

I don't understand your logic of "if I don't say anything, people will course-correct" at all.

Whatever you need to tell yourself

"Cows are way better than people" said the prison guard.

Your kid shimmies for chocolate and you still don't succumb?

To the surprise of whom

Funny how incorrect you are.

Backward comments like this are why the conversation doesn't move.

That's such flawed logic. You're still promoting the purchase and use of Google devices. If there's a thriving secondhand market, more people can sell them and buy flagships.
