The problem is that you think that would make the 'just' products cheaper. The reality is that the data and advertising subsidize the costs of the existing options and make them cheaper then what 'just' could sell for.

I'm never going to buy a fridge with a tablet embedded in it, but I don't really think they are making that much money from that. You can buy cheaper equivalent versions of appliances that don't have the ability to display ads or collect/send data anywhere.

Not for TVs you can't. And other appliances are following suit.
