If the attack were better understood by people who didn’t perform the hack then it wouldn’t have happened. I don’t think any engineer in the last 20 years would put IR on the thing. At the same time I wonder “who would put Bluetooth on the embedded controller for such a machine?”

With so many multifunction SOC embedded controllers out there it's possible some one just didn't cut the lines to the radio built into the board that was selected for other reasons. Would not surprise me to see a lot of control boards that expected firmware or dip switches to disable unneeded functionality versus having a different line for similar boards if they weren't being made to a specific end customer anyway.
