> 3.3 IoT should not accept inbound communication without authentication.
Ideally the user should have to specifically consent to inbound communication on an instance-by-instance basis, even from the manufacturer. There's many cases where forced updates are triggered that change/limit functionality unexpectedly. There's numerous anecdotes of people's devices being required to update to be used while they have some pressing need to use it.
