it's not weird at all, for one, you get to use a keyboard, for second, you get to use actual real hardware that isn't spying on you and selling your data. You also get to use a real QWERTY based, or whatever other layout you want that isn't ABCDE what a fucking abomination that layout is.

plus you get a whole desktop OS if you please, or if not you can cold roll something specifically for a TV. You just have so many more options, than you do when using a smart tv or generic streaming box.
