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.

It's getting difficult to find outright dumb TVs now. Although some (including some Sony TVs) give you the choice on setup of choosing either "smart TV" or "basic TV".
