As to 'why would anyone buy that' the answer is the same as what they
did with "smart TVs."  They stop making the other kind, and you get
stuck with it.

time, current cable operators will drop the cable channels, and
customers will have to use Internet.

Frequency of watching cable television in the United States in 2022,
by generation

A survey conducted in November 2022 found that younger generations in
the United States were less likely to watch cable television on a
daily basis than older generations. In fact, 40 percent of baby
boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, used cable TV daily, while only a
quarter of surveyed millenials, born between 1981 and 1996, and 17
percent from Generation Z, born between 1997 and 2012, stated to do
so. All in all, the share of respondents, who stated to not have
watched cable TV at all in the month prior to the survey, was at least
50 percent within all generations.
