Do you still feel the need to check for formaldehyde and Borax in your milk and meat? How do you accomplish this? I'm fascinated! Is that a bit facetious? Sure, but the point is that there's wary and then there's wary. "Having to weigh cost, reputation, and performance" is not "having to guess which product won't hurt you because there's no disincentive to hurt you".
>Society has to live with an evil for long enough to become aware of the downsides
IMO "society" already is. Nobody's thinking "hey, lying about whether this chat app is end-to-end encrypted is totally cool and good" after they put their trust in the product and the lie is revealed. I suspect poor IoT security is just going to have to somehow kill and cripple a lot of photogenic people until someone can score political points by writing some laws.
