** THE REAL PROBLEM **
Is companies making shit that has not business connecting to the internet. _THAT_ needs to be regulated. Why does your car need an internet connection? Why does your fridge need an internet connection? What does your robovac need an internet connection? ALL of these items could work just fine with zero internet connect, or a simple LAN connection.
If we could regulate that, we'd solve 95% of the problem and the IOT Update problem goes away. Ounce of prevention worth a Terabit-Scale DDOS of cure.
