This is a FACT. I have computers (running linux and usually powered off when not in use), and a TV that I never connect to the internet and disable anything smart on it (if it ever breaks I'll either not replace it or go for one that's fully dumb since literally all it offers me are security vulnerabilities). What little use the TV gets is via a raspberry pi using mostly software that I wrote myself or is FOSS. Besides that the smartest thing in here is a damn toaster.
I like technology, sometimes anyhow, but corpo shit is simply not trustworthy nor well designed. If I can't rewire it or put my own software on it I'm not interested. A modded espresso machine with FOSS firmware and sensors and stuff? cool, sure, love it. A smart soldering iron with USB PD and temperature control? dope. But once you start getting into wifi and bluetooth and locked down software territory, it's a no from me. I begrudgingly tolerate my printer and my TV, but the printer predates the web and has a hard on/off switch, and the TV is on a switched outlet
