Is it the case (without naming specific brands, OSs or browsers) that latest 
smart Internet TVs are an incremental evolution/variation of the walled-garden?

Indeed it is.

Which is how all the other newer hand-held gadgets manage to work with, 
synchronize with, and at least partially replace, PCs. The question I keep 
asking is, why would anyone think that a "connected TV" must follow a totally 
different formula and feel totally strange and confusing to its users? Why this 
mental disconnect on the part of the CE companies?
