This is a great point. What are your thoughts on requiring a switch on all IoT devices so the consumer can flip a switch and their "smart Widget" just becomes a "widget"? This would be a nice for both security perspective and a consumer perspective.
An insecure e-stationary bike should just become a stationary bike rather than a 100-pound pile of trash.

If the company drops support or goes out of business, I won't even notice in terms of impact on washing my dishes.
