300 bucks seems a lot.

Nowadays with ~100 bucks you can an amd64 box and a CEC adapter, which allows to use the default remote of your tv. Then you can install on it whatever you want, customize it however you prefer and have all the privacy you decide. No lock-in. As much AI as you like, zero is a valid option.

Plenty of streaming services now don't have full functionality on desktop OS's, only mobile apps.

Can't do 1080p on Disney+ in a browser. Can't do surround sound. etc.

How will you play HDR media then?

Do you know of a CEC adapter which can do HDMI2.1 4K120Hz? What has held me back from this setup is only being able to find 4K60Hz CEC adapters.

The CEC adapter shouldn't care? CEC is its own pin, everything else just goes straight through. (or maybe through twists).

You can also probably maybe do terrible things like CEC on one port and signal on another, it's mostly a bus.
