I have an older Sony TV which has (what I can only guess to be) Google's Android TV app installed on it. I'm sick of getting new recommendations from Amazon and Disney+ and all those services. Is there a way to strip it down bare bones and get everything I need from another app repo - kinda like with Graphene vs Android?

Factory reset it and don't connect it to the network.

If you want to stream, use a Chromecast. I've been using the same one for like ten years now, never an issue. Pick the media on my phone, hit cast, done.

I wonder which company makes these Chromecasts ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Google, but it sounds like OP's issue is the junk, not any actual association with Google.
