Why do certain brands of smart TV's exclude specific apps. For instance if you have an LG TV you cannot add the MLB app (lemmy.world)

Probably because the app isn't available for the os the TV is running. Your best bet is to not buy a "smart" TV unless it's running android. If you happen to already have a "smart" TV, buy something like the shield and you can run all apps available for android without being stuck with the shitty os on whatever TV you have.
