And in any case, it doesn't achieve the objective of newspeak, as those concepts are still being discussed.
Yet.
But I get what you are saying. I just find the similarities, although banal, kind of funny. In a scary kind of way.
You just described Newspeak (Nineteen Eighty-Four novel):
Newspeak, which is a controlled language of simplified grammar and limited vocabulary designed to limit a person's ability for critical thinking. The Newspeak language thus limits the person's ability to articulate and communicate abstract concepts, such as personal identity, self-expression, and free will,[1][2] which are thoughtcrimes, acts of personal independence that contradict the ideological orthodoxy of Ingsoc collectivism.[3][4]
I use the TV remote control for the basic stuff. If I need to type something longer or more options, than I switch to Kore (official Kodi remote by the same developers). You just need the phone to be in the same network.
Never felt the need to connect keyboard+mouse.
I'm running a RPI4 with LibreELEC + Kodi.
YouTube runs better than the official app, at least for my needs.
LibreELEC + Kodi works out of the box with the TV Remote. And you can use Kore (android app) to get a full keyboard.
The hell did I just watch?!
