The problem isn't whether a french cleat can hold the TV, it's whether the TV can hold a french cleat.

The TV has a VESA mount. If you ever opened up a modern TV, they're made of 4 things...air, LED screen, circuit board, and a skeleton holding everything in place using the VESA mount. There's just nothing to a TV now that can support it's own weight EXCEPT for those 4 reasonably strong screw holes. So, you need a VESA frame to connect to the TV, then tie THAT to a french cleat, and you've now made something too thick to be useful.
