Budget TVs have only 1.5–2 GB of memory, yet the stock home screen is packed with ads and suggestions, and dozens of apps run all the time. Little is left for Netflix or YouTube, so everything lags.
Every press of Home fetches fresh banners and suggestions.
Brand app stores, telemetry and updaters start with the TV.
These apps grow with each update; the memory doesn't.
