I thought this too but then I learned you can sideload apps within fire OS and also remove the apk for bloatware with a little fiddling. Look up flauncher on the google app store Sideload flauncher and you'll have a clean smooth UI. Google's app store will also list some recommendations for similar launchers and there are gobs of them to choose from. With Roku you can't sideload apps nor change the launcher like you can with Fire tvs.

I ended up getting this. It has better reviews than most of the other TCL TVs at this price point. I would prefer a non Fire OS TV, but I won't be connecting it online.

Stop trying to make Fire OS a thing. No one is asking for this!
