While there's probably people who'll meaninglessly nitpick about whether those things count as the "I" part of IoT, that's a pointless distraction. I fly FPV quadcopters, and I remember back when I got my first 5GHz video setup, and put a high gain antenna on the receiver in my workshop at home, and hit the autotune button - it hopped around showing me snippets from a bunch of my neighbour's baby monitors and doorbell cameras. Plain unencrypted 5GHz video, and when I looked on the 2.4GHz band, even more there too. (this was 4-5 years back, and things have changed since then - so I see fewer plain video streams these days, but I still see signals which are almost certainly similar devices, and I'll bet if I cared it'd turn out to be relatively trivial to google up "secret keys" to those probably-homebrew-encrypted streams, and worse I'll bet the Mirai source code probably shows me how to p0wn many of those devices...) People 100% have been putting technology in their houses with little or zero knowledge of how it works and the consequences on their privacy dictated by the security design, and never considering those possible consequences in the purchase decision and buying based on features and rice only. Connecting those non-security-focused devices to the internet is insane - but it's exactly what vendors are selling everywhere - as evidenced bu the power on the Mirai botnet...
