new locked down spyware TVs are so cheap, who would want to buy and move -your- locked down spyware TV?
Jailbroken LG TVs are the panacea of locked down spyware TVs. Although like OP, if I ever lose the ability to run root, then that's the day I look for a new TV (lord have mercy).
I was able to on my LG. Nice TV, worst firmware ever. It had an issue with Wifi. It basically will not connect once or so a week. You needed to change, you guess it, the region. So I will keep changing from Germany to Spain to Ireland to Germany to Etc. I sent pictures, videos, emails, links to youtube videos to LG support, they wouldn't care, they would just deny it. In the end I bought a Fire TV Max and that was it. But what a horrible support experience LG never again.

I don’t think I will ever again connect a tv to the internet
yea... LG policies are real shitty. I didn't have 5Ghz Wifi on my TV. why? cuz I'm in middle east!
Sounds more like a legal issue with permitted spectrum use than an arbitrary LG policy.
It should probably be noted changing the regulatory region of an RF device may result in you using illegal frequencies in your area depending on the combination of which region you're in and which region you're setting it to.

With some chipsets it can end up being entirely ass-backwards - if you use an Intel WiFi chipset, a nearby AP can broadcast the wrong region and cripple your connectivity.
Outdated regulatory databases and firmware efforts by vendors have generally made both illegal and legal usage beyond ch 1-12 at 2.4GHz rather difficult.

It's more likely an out-of-date regulatory database that predates 5GHz being allowed in those regions.
