TL;DW:

LG fails to do damage control and continues to act in bad faith.

If you own a LG tv you should really get rid of it as it's a security and privacy nightmare device in your home.

This is the answer. My Samsung “smart tv” doesn’t know WiFi exists. A separate box for all the smart apps, that too blocked from accessing most tracking networks using NextDNS.

It doesn't need to be your wifi. Neighbor turning on hotspot without password on their phone is enough to send the recorded data.

Damn. Didn’t think of that.

you can remove the wifi adapter in some models

Or disable wifi entirely. Mine has an option to turn it on or off.
