Home theatre systems have been a thing for decades. Soundbars are the cheaper and simpler new alternative. Alternatively you can just use a media player thay compresses audio. This is easier if you use a PC connected to your TV but I'm sure some TV apps allow it too.

you've had to buy 'extra stuff' for decades. The TV is only half the equation. Its buying a DSLR camera, and being upset it didn't come with the best lens. It comes with one that works, but you arn't going to have good results.

I appreciate TVs not wasting resources on putting decent speakers in it that I'll never use because I did buy a soundbar over a decade ago that has decent sound and has outlasted the TV I bought it for. Plus TVs are so thin these days that they probably can't even drive decent bass, and the speakers they do have are rear facing, so they don't even drive the sound towards you. Modularity isn't a bad thing IMO.
