Why did the modern television experience such so bad?

What happened??? I'm talking about all aspects of the broadcast and streaming experience. It's miserable. \- 'Live TV' - OTA and broadcast are thoroughly conflated on many modern televisions, leaving users confused about the simple matter of what's on when and where. \- The crappy 'guide' situation with cable providers is a hot mess; too many channels for the endless-scroll format and typically devoid of filter or search abilities. \- The switch to digital broadcast didn't just destroy signal reception, it made mindless channel surfing impossible. The tuning lag between channel changes makes the proposition untenable. \- Why don't modern remotes have a '.' on them? There's no way to simply enter a direct OTA channel number on any remote that I've seen. This is inexcusable. \- The rise of smart TV's has not gone well. Every tv that's more than 3-4 years old (and even many brand new ones) exhibits laggy, cumbersome navigation. Roku, Google, and others push out constant updates with little regard for devices that they've already sold. They apparently don't want to be bothered managing multiple code bases so they push their latest bloatware out to everything and drive sales by making 3-year-old devices functionally obsolete. \- You can't turn your tv off anymore and just go back to where you were when you return. I think this is universally true across all smart tv's but I can't say for sure. This is insanely annoying when you're watching a movie or show and have to stop in the middle. When you come back to it later, rather than having some kind of 'resume' feature on the home screen or, you know, just picking up where you left off, you get to navigate through search menus and a sea of advertisements for the same thing you've already paid for on every service other than the one you actually chose. I'm sure plenty of people have griped about this stuff already. I'm sure that I sound cranky and old. However, the user experience of modern 'televisions' seems objectively broken. This, ccoming from a technology advocate - someone who adopted smart tv early and who once had high hopes for the future of the medium. Not so much anymore.
