The Hisense h9g used faulty memory that caused the main board to fail if too many writes occured. The best way to prevent this was to disable the internet, not use on board apps and use a streaming device.
For the Samsung s90b, the company apparently sent out firmware updates that lowered the brightness of the TV. So to prevent an update for those who did not receive it, you would keep the TV off the internet, unable to use onboard apps, so you need a third party device.
I have an s90c that I do not want nerfed, so I use a fire stick on it and others on avs forums do the same with other streaming devices. I also have 2 h9gs that I keep off the internet.
I use a streaming device on my ust projector, the on board apps are laggy compared to a streaming device.
Another use case is that Samsung store does not have a larger app library compared to Google or the TV is not able to run certain apps.
I use an onn streaming box on one of my TV's that has Google TV on it. I can run emulators up to Dreamcast with the onn box, my TV is not able to do that.

you want the extra memory so it can run smoothly down the line.
i've gotten the regular basic ones and after a couple of years, some apps just take forever to load and randomly crashes.

Did anyone else have this experience with the regular stick or lite sticks? Brand new and slow as heck?

The real test was Paramount Plus. It would crash or wouldn't run at all on non-4k sticks and 1st Gen Cubes. The price difference for the 4K isn't that bad during these sales and will save you a lot of time.
I'm tempted to get a Samsung as my next TV only for the 24/7 Conan O'brien channel
Of course a fireTV OS device would be on HDMI 1.

I have bought several knockoff firestick remotes on ali express for like a few bucks each. They have so many options, just find a choice item (free shipping on $10) and spend $10 on a variety of remotes, silicone covers for the remotes, charging cables, whatever you need. I prefer ali express for stuff like that cause it's usually 1/2 or 1/3 the price for the same off brand stuff they sell on Amazon if you can wait 8-11 days....
I thought my 3 year old threw our one remote in the trash or something it was missing for so long but we found it a month later in a toy bin. That's why we have two remotes for everything now lol
