I was just thinking of the extremely litigation happy culture in the US. We literally have thousands of highway signs in cities saying that if you were in an accident, call us and we'll sue the person who rear ended you. All I imagine is someone running their own firmware on an appliance, doing some unseen damage, and then reverting to the onboard firmware and getting hurt. It would be a field day for lawyers. I completely agree that this sucks and it's the same reason robotics has proceeded at a snail's pace. God forbid making a Roomba with a more powerful vacuum, what if it ran over someone's toe.
