If they already have data security implementation gaps or a tap-susceptible architecture, then it's a different matter. The government serves them a warrant, and they have to comply. But if Amazon being compelled to reach into a network and retrieve video stored locally is a threat model, that should be mitigated by a tight firewall and non-updating devices... Half of the IoT privacy gaps are because people don't run network security barriers anymore, and then are shocked when companies abuse them.
