Does this guide eliminate google play services? If not, then you still don't really control it. For reference, on my Pixel 6 Pro, GrapheneOS gets 2x the advertised battery life until you add Google Play Services back into a sandbox. At that point, it gets advertised battery life.

I assume the TVs Google backdoors are even worse (video scraping, etc, etc) since they are not power constrained.

LG Web OS is not android based, so that should be no concern

I had no idea google play services uses that must power. Another good reason to get rid of it.
