I feel like TV app’s like Netflix (maybe the exception) / HBO / Hulu / AppleTV+ / et. al. are incredibly slow and pretty poorly designed. When I hit a button a few times on the remote to scroll it will lag, then jump suddenly across a few icons. Computer based apps don’t do this. What gives?

Making a snappy, responsive, nice-looking app takes a lot of time, effort, and money. And, it requires a more powerful processor to run it without a lot of lag and jerkiness. All of this adds up to a TV that costs more. And since the market for TVs is extremely competitive, even shaving off $50 from the price of a TV can make a big difference in sales, so TV manufacturers are constantly looking for any way to shave pennies off of the cost of the TV.
