It probably made sense to limit supply to those who had an at least rudimentary

Umm, TV's and CRT monitors are just as dangerous as 40 years ago.
All that voltage is in the Capacitors and the CRT tubes, and CRT's are
still the most common technology for TV. Radios are safer, but they
always were (You don't need 20,000+ volts on an amplifier tube).
