I know people prefer to complain instead of act, but what is something people don’t like but has an alternative?

    This is why I don’t buy Android.

    The software isn’t optimized enough from smoothness and battery consumption perspective.

    Also, the ROM that’s usually comes from the manufacturer is either spyware, bloated, or just crap. You need technical knowledge and risking bricking your device to install custom ROM.

    The hardware, which is my least concern, depends on the company you buy from.

    My SONY smart tv (with apps disabled) would phone home like ~200 times a minute.

      Fellow Sony Smart tv owner here. Whatever that google tv os thing is, it phones home like crazy. And with my Pihole enabled on the network some of the tv functionality doesn’t work. I just banned it’s MAC address from my network at the router and don’t use it’s “smart” features.

        I did use pihole to block it. Sadly, not everyone have the technical knowledge to do so.

        That’s why I’d recommend apple products even though they’re not that great.
