> This is a bit like saying you should "never" turn on your new car's engine and should immediately swap it out for a third-party one, because every knows Manufacturer X leaves ticking time bombs in their engines.

I don’t think it’s at all like that.

If anything, it’s more like saying don’t use your car’s built-in navigation, and instead, use another connected device for navigation.

The engine is a critical part of a car — without it, it can’t function. Period.

A TV doesn’t have to be smart to operate it, and you can’t buy a TV without it, even though it’s 100% not necessary, especially if you already have another device for that.

Again, it’s like cars with navigation — completely unnecessary, especially if you have another device for that.
