Cheap android TV box running kodi. Media on usb hard drive.
You aren't wrong. It is something to be careful of. Here's one source

Best might be to go with a known brand, get a Raspberry Pi, get something like the Intel Nuc if you want something more capable and a wireless keyboard to go with it.
Don't buy those boxes, they're a ripoff at best and funding real crime at worst.
Is there some cheap android device conspiracy I should be aware of?

Huh? Can you elaborate? I have an LG TV with webOS (useless), so I'm about to buy an Android box.
