I absolutely loathe my LG smart TV. Just switching to another input requires 3 button press.

I hope someone uses their free time to hack the OS and offer a clean and simple interface to make it a “dumb” TV.

You're not wrong, but you could ask your favorite LLM to interact with the LG API's to switch the input for you. At least for my case, it was ~10 minutes of work to develop a small tray app that looks for a specific USB device and switches the TV input if it gets inserted. I don't really even touch the remote anymore
