That's great for you, but people like you vastly underestimate how much hassle people are willing to go through as far as setting up tech goes.
I connected my PC to the TV via HDMI. i use Firefox with ublock.
See, that's more realistic.
I'd need a dedicated computer, because my PC doesn't live in the lounge, but I'm seriously considering doing it. My Chromecast has been pissing me off lately.
Look at some n95 NUCs on Amazon, or any mini pc really. Often less than 200$ for a full windows PC that can stream anything you throw at it.
You can get decently capable machines for under $100 if you go used
