As soon as you stop buying pre built SmArT shit and cobble the same together from regular components. I get a smart TV experience from a dumb tv/projector and a media PC with remote access or local kb/m. In the past I had a harmony remote that made it much closer to the real experience
Stop gobbling up corporate slop and these issues stop being an issue. You just have to deal with less slick experiences, but it’s worth it imo.
When can we start to own things again?
You can right now. What exactly are you having a problem owning?

For TVs now, by buying used. Help yourself and the environment by buying an unwanted “dumb” TV that’s free of this sort of crap.
Or if budget allows, look at industrial displays.
Supply answers demand, is we stop buying junk smart stuff and take our money elsewhere the market will eventually follow.
When we pay the actual price and not the ad subsidised price.
