For example, when you are using the LG smart TV, you may only able to download apps from the LG Content Store. Your smart TV may not be very updated which will lower your incentives of using it. Compared with smart TV, TV Box provides the most updated applications in gaming, movie watching, etc. You can download the most updated apps from the Google Play Store. The compatibility of the TV Box is higher than the Smart TV. Therefore, even your smart TV is not updated, you are still able to use the TV box for enjoying movies or live TV streaming.

Reason 3: Save the monthly subscription fees
Even you get a Smart TV, you still need to pay for the monthly subscription fees if you want to watch some other TV channels such as sports channels, movies channels, etc. If you purchase a TV Box, then you can install apps that provide free channels / programs.
To sum up, even the functions of smart TV and TV box look alike, TV Box with affordable price and high compatibility of apps make it more useful compare with Smart TV. If you would like to try the functions of smart TV, you may get a TV box with cheaper prices first.
