Honestly, my biggest objection is that there's so much nearly pointless IoT stuff out there. If a product desperately needs network connectivity, but is still prohibitively expensive to secure, I'm sympathetic. (Not forgiving, mind, but I understand the difficulty.) But when you're releasing a wifi teakettle, or a networked lightswitch that's talking to one other switch 5 feet away? At that point I think there's basically no excuse at all. Teakettles work great as is, adding insecure network support creates a product substantially worse than one without any software at all. More theoretically, I can imagine an IoT product so good that they should just pay for the externalities they cause and keep manufacturing. But most insecure products out there today are creating far more externality than value, and wouldn't exist if they had to deal with the harm they cause.
