Pretty much none of what you're listing here is happening because of competition.

A TV that would force you to sit through ads will be dead on the market, etc.

The only one item that is even close to being reality is power companies controlling appliances to balance the load, but even that is unlikely to happen because people will vote that down.

Pretty much any TV you can buy will, in fact, force you to sit through ads.

"Sometime in 2016 Samsung began pushing a software update to enable ads in the user interface of previously acquired Smart TVs as well as new TVs. The ads were shown above a new icon in the bottom menu."
