Better updates for one. Smart TV's are notorious (unless they're Roku TV's and to some extent Android TV's) for only getting software updates for a limited time and for not getting their apps updated to the extent/frequency that Fire TV, Roku and Apple TV do. A separate device also can help extend the life of perfectly good equipment as it is something that can be upgraded separately and often for under $100. Smart TV's are great, but not the end all be all.
