I don't think the market always efficiently sorts out every dumb technology fad, but I have a moderate level of confidence that people will stop buying cloud-dependent physical products after being burned enough times by stuff like this. Or, maybe they just realize it's not all that useful in the first place. Alternatively, the products could get much better, and doubters like me will have to stop complaining and jump on board. We'll see about that. But, I don't think a law would improve the situation. More likely it would just backfire in some unexpected way, as such well-intentioned laws often do.

Individual people probably will, but the market will keep supplying new people who haven't yet been burnt and are willing to fall for the same old scam.
