So far the answer is never as they focus on dedicated streaming boxes. TV apps do not have good support, with the existing ones being a bit problematic (such as Samsung). Remember TV makers want to sell new TVs, not keep updating software to keep old TVs compatible with apps and such for too long.
Get an external streaming device? You want regret purchasing in the long run. Those apps are poorly written and supported for the service. Many have complained over the years, and it is well documented in the forum. Just so some searches, and you will discover how poor the apps are for Smart TV's.
