One can stream monster resolutions across very high latency/bloated links.

Meanwhile, my new-this-year Roku enabled TV crashes if I change the volume
while Netflix or Prime or Disney is in the process of starting the stream.

I'm at a loss to understand why TVs don't come with cameras, or at least
support some wide variety of USB webcams.  It seems obvious to me that they
should be videophones.... but that requires low-latency networks and
low-latency wifi.  (My TV supports one USB-Ethernet device, but not one I
happened to have around)

So why doesn't Sony do this with their PS4/PS5?
