Should be, I agree. Though I would doubt that they are. We've seen plenty of malware packages related to industrial control systems over the past decade or so, which mostly rely on "compromising the workstation that programs PLCs and fixes their behavior over the network to meet the attacker's desires."
My goal here certainly isn't to impact industrial control systems, but to generate less ewaste of "Well, we're bored with it, good luck!" end of life devices.

"Why change what works", etc. Contracts for new designs, meanwhile, tend to specify all the security they can think of.
