Do people stop smoking because we put cancer warnings on cigarettes? It's hard to separate effects, but certainly here in the UK where we now have aggressive labelling restrictions on packets and visible displays in shops and strict limits on smoking in most public places, smoking seems to be much less of a problem than it used to be. In particular, culturally among younger generations, social smoking is no longer the norm in the way that perhaps it was for their parents or grandparents. I see no reason that similarly explicit labelling requirements for dangerous IoT devices couldn't help, particularly if also combined with restrictions on use in contexts that could affect others. Failing that, I personally have no problem with powerful regulations that pose an existential threat to businesses that are deliberately and flagrantly cavalier with security or privacy in the online era (and I write that as someone who is typically very cautious about regulatory over-reach and unintended consequences).
