The apps in the Smart TV are nowhere near as well designed and programmed as the apps for FireStick or Roku. The TV makers goal is to sell a TV, not provide you with the best apps. Those are added to sell the TV.
TV apps, in most cases, will not provide the video and audio quality of the apps specifically designed for streaming platforms like FireStick, Roku, or Apple TV. Many of them will experience buffering issues (freezing momentarily), and lock ups.
So, yes they may be easier to use, but the number and variety of issues in the built in apps will cause more long term problems for the end user than the short term issue of learning to use one of the streaming platforms.
When you buy a new TV, you'll have to learn that interface all over. If you are already using one of the streaming devices, just move it to the new TV, and everything works the same.
