Ah so close!
If it lacked any smart tv features and had displayport it would be my next tv.
Ignore me if I'm being stupid, but could you just not give it internet? A lot of TVs have high spec CPU/APU these days and complicated firmware, surely ability to update the firmware for these is necessary for patches/feature improvements. They probably think it's silly not to include software if they can, but I agree the software experience is often a bit of a let down. LGs been good, but admittedly I block all telemetry on my network so wouldn't notice any downsides.
you're right and that's what I do but I'd still buy a sceptre tv if they were sold outside of trumpia
