The TV labeling has nothing to do with it having an OS baked in. It is just Hisense's marketing of their lineup of ultra short throw projector and screen bundles. I have yet to see a high end ultra short throw laser projector that did not have an OS (primarily Android) baked in. It is not a unique feature to this or have any impact on its designation as a "laser TV".
What "upper tier models" are you referring to that include TV tuners? What year is this? This is not even close to a feature that premium models would have.
This is not, "just a short throw projector". It is classified as a specific type of projector called an "ultra short throw laser projector". The difference is that a "short throw" projector requires several feet+ of distance from the screen to throw a large image where a traditional projector would need a lot more throw distance to produce the same size image. An ultra short throw projector is a different category of projector because it can be very close to the surface it is projecting on (sometimes less than a foot), thus the "ultra" differentiation. It is specified as a "laser" projector because of its light source being from a laser generator and not a traditional projector bulb. There are still ultra short throw projectors that use traditional bulbs but have quickly become obsolete with the implementation of laser technology which is why we are seeing a boom in product offerings for ultra short throw laser projectors right now.
All of the light comes directly from the projector itself. There is zero "back-light". The picture is generated entirely from below the screen.
The screen is what is called an ALR screen which means Ambient Light Rejecting. The material has small ridges in it that catch light from below that is being thrown by the projector and rejects the ambient light from other sources. That is how it can look like a 100" TV even in a room with lights on or windows open.

Keep in mind that UST projectors need more space than you may realize. I have a UST projecting to a 125" screen, and the distance from the wall to the back of the projector is about 16". This means your media console either needs to have enough depth to hold the projector + 16", or the same depth as the projector but placed 16" from the wall. Do your room measurements carefully before getting a UST.
I have a Samsung UST
120" is like 3 75" TVs stuck to your wall.

Some upper tier models have TV tuners but I do not believe this particular model does....
This is just a short throw projector WITH a laser back-light.

Otherwise it's an amazing projector.
(I'm looking at you SD and B&H)
The main reason that someone would prefer a projector over a TV is "SIZE"!!!!
85" TV Vs 100 " Projector screen might not appears as a big deal but it is...
85" Vs 100" [displaywars.com]
Total Area: 100" screen has 38.4% more screen area (1186 square inches)
Width: 100" screen is 13.1 inches longer (17.6%)
Height: 100" screen is 7.4 inches taller (17.6%)
Diagonal: 100" screen is 15 inches longer diagonally (17.6%)
Granted, it is not a big of a difference as:
85" Vs 120" [displaywars.com]
Which is the usual size that people chose for a projector screen.
BUT...... the TV will always have better contrast ratio and a better picture quality.
OK, so my information is wrong.
LED TVs are not a marketing ploy.( LCD screens with a LED back-light.)
Laser TV is not a marketing ploy as well???
Yeah, other manufacturers have built in OS.....So... that means HiSense could not use it as a marketing ploy??
Why are you explaining and rambling on that "This is not, "just a short throw projector". It is classified as a specific type of projector called an "ultra short throw laser projector".
WHEN... WHERE did I comment and/or question the type of THROW this projector possesses?
Again... I have dealt with your kind before...KNOW-IT-ALL...
(In the military you all are referred as barrack lawyers)
You get all your info from Rtings and the like...
