Just requiring security updates doesn't guarantee much; they have to actually stop the threats. I'd like some opt-in qualification guaranteeing support similar

Just requiring security updates doesn't guarantee much; they have to actually stop the threats. I'd like some opt-in qualification guaranteeing support similar to what autos have. There are recalls for safety issues, refunds for negligence, etc for a reasonable amount of time. Behind the scenes, this requires some kind of fund or insurance to back up the liability, which does have a cost. It's fine if not all products meet this high bar, but it'd be good for highly-committed IoT companies to be able to distinguish themselves from the cheapos.
