IMO here's some better solutions.
1. Blend FCC action with right to repair -- Require device makers to provide software patch utilities to the public, and open source the code after a period of time.
2. Rather than regulate manufacturers, educate consumers. Companies that do dumb shit should go bankrupt because customers can understand the company sucks.
3. I'd prefer the government to defined standards and repercussions, not solutions. ie, Do not mandate security patches, instead add liability, per sold device and scaled to severity, for security flaws. Then let the market decide the solutions. Rather than giving patches, they might decide to just give free replacement devices, for example.
