I mean they literally are, you can watch literally any tv show or movie on them so I don't see a difference.

Sure but they aren't TVs. A TV can normally only do TV shit.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
