I’m not quite understanding why most would want/need this. I used to look at these devices (Apple TV, Roku, fire stick) as ways to turn a non Smart TV into a smart tv. But it’s 2023, smart tvs are cheap and plentiful and seem to be the standard for a while now. So why buy one of these devices when someone already has a smart tv??

They still suck in 2023 compared to boxes. Weaker CPU. , low amounts of ram, low storage + lack of updates after whatever tv model has been out longer than 1-2 years generally.

$100-$130 is cheap price to pay for half decade of support + top of the line specs so it will age a lot better.

I’ve still got a Samsung dumb TV so I am a person that purchases these. TV works just great and I don’t need 4K. Bought by an integrated smart TV a few years ago and it’s slower than a dog now. Almost unusable. These devices can upgrade those types of scenarios as well. Just got the Apple 4K WiFi 64G 3rd Gen at Costco for $100.
