Does his TV also lack HDMI inputs...? I have Smart TV's, and they've never once been connected to my network.
Last I checked it was mainly Samsung that did this. I've been buying 4K TVs as a monitor for about a decade now. I tried to upgrade to Samsung 42" a few years ago. After a couple hours of trying with no luck, I looked it up online and found people complaining about the same thing. The model I purchased had zero way of being used without first connecting it to the internet. Turns out that TV was one of the models that Samsung could remotely brick. I returned it immediately after.
I have two Samsung TVs and they work fine, I don't use the smart interface aspect at all (though I did let them connect to the Internet as controlling them with my phone via the app is nifty sometimes) but I use one for my PC and the other for a Nvidia Shield TV.
Not sure why Samsung would remotely brick your tv, but once you set it up I don't think you need WiFi anymore
What the fuck do I need to "Activate" a TV for?
If I cannot use a TV without connecting it to the Internet, it is not fit for purpose and is going back to the store for a refund.
