Televisions today are much cheaper than in the past.

Don’t connect it to the internet. Problem solved.
Newer TVs are locking down and refusing to continue without it.
I don’t recall seeing any that behave in that way. Not saying you’re wrong, but I have a <6 month old TV that doesn’t behave in this way. Plugged it in to the wall, ran through the “setup” choosing “setup later” options, plugged my receiver into the HDMI 1 port, and everything just worked.
I’d be interested in seeing which brands are doing this.
The cheapest ones usually come without any internet connection.
