Some news to add weight to those that believe that live TV watching is on the decline.

I think you may have taken this out of context, Richard. This isn't all about linear TV, it's about television.
I watch streaming services on my TV all the time - never on my small computer screen or tablet!

Does anyone know what 'Programmatic Video Purchasing' is? I've never heard of it, is it buy and keep VOD purchases??

I think that they're mostly a waste of time too. When I buy my new TV, any Smart TV capabilities will be purely incidental.
Ad free option for Hulu is a success:

As just one example, whatever I am watching at the time, I can just press the 'Netflix' button on my Smart TV remote and I'm straight in there with the Netflix choices on screen. Very quick and efficient!

I think that they're probably useful when the TV is new, but from what I've researched, the apps eventually stop working well or at all as technology advances.
All else being equal, I would buy a TV with smart capabilities, but it wouldn't be a deciding factor.

Exactly; and it's way cheaper to replace a streamer box when that happens than an expensive TV.

I agree with the point you are making however it depends what timescale your expecting the apps to work for , we have a Samsung in the bedroom which is pretty old and the apps still work and it receives updates from time to time.
