It's definitely not impossible to do that, there are a ton of people (on this very website, I dare say) who'd pay good money for a non-smart TV with the latest panel technology and 4 HDMI ports.
However Samsung and LG wouldn't make as much money from those models, and the potential customers for them will probably suck it up and buy a smart TV anyway. So why would they bother?
