As a counterpoint, it feels like you're complaining about losing the ability to control a device you don't normally have the ability to control by exploiting some facet of it's operation. Isn't the real problem that you don't control the device in the first place? Perhaps the better solution is to only run devices and software that you can actually trust, if the security of those devices is important to you, or if you care about the device's behavior.
