this makes the assumption that previous software was more robust at preventing this than running node.js as a backend.

- sandworm101 11y agoIt's not about the software, but the entire package. The soft/firmware can be total junk, but if it isn't networked to other systems then it isn't going to be hacked. Take the mood lighting. Once upon a time such LEDs would be tied to a controller with three knobs, three rehostats, to set the RGB values. Done. No networking, just knobs. Hacking would require digging holes into the wall. Anyone willing to do that would just turn the knobs. But now it's connected to a tablet app. The software on that networked tablet is always, always, going to be more of a risk than the software behind those not-networked RGB knobs. It's a physicality problem.
