The market of devices bought by security aware people is not the market that Schneier is concerned about. It's this other much larger market of normal people buying the least expensive devices with the most convenient features.
Those consumers won't notice or care if their devices participate in dos attacks, but the targets of the attacks care a lot. It's a classic example of a negative externality.
