They've done that and they're doing it further, for more types of devices. I 
know that the recent Smart TVs are running Linux -- there are even some 
exploits known for them. They announced cameras running Linux last November.

As far as I can tell, the only reasons you wouldn't run Linux are if your 
device has less than 4 MB of RAM or if your letterhead says "Microsoft" or 
"Apple".

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if that Smart TV giving you problems 
turned out to be running Linux too. The entire industry was switching to Linux 
back in 2010 already.
