This is obviously tongue-in-cheek but I didn't find anything on the TOS about obstructing the screen - a curtain isn't software, nor is it a modification to the TV, and could possibly be hung in a way that doesn't obstruct the sensor.

They can change their ToS at any time, so this doesn't really matter.

You're right. Perhaps they count on their users to not obstruct the secondary screen because the smart tv features are controlled from the secondary smart screen, so you won't be able to operate it if you obstruct the secondary screen.
