I thought Smart TVs with Google OS would also recieve updates frequently unlike the Android TV OS which was dependent on the manufacturer to push the updates. But even with Google TV OS on my Hisense TV I haven't received any OTA update, so even this doesn't seem to be under Google's direct control, most manufacturers don't bother with ota updates after selling the TV, not even the monthly security patches.
