You could use the excuse that you are complying with the law per "California passes law that bans default passwords in connected devices": * https://techcrunch

  Is complying with the law an excuse these days?

    Always has been.

  Oh, I'm pretty sure we can just say whatever, even "we have decided and it will be so". There is only a tiny problem when a customer is bigger (and richer) than the vendor by an order of magnitude or more :) . They tend to control a lot, with such power imbalance.

    Honestly doesn't get better in the reverse either. At Microsoft I'd sit in on calls with banks and other "big names", watching them pound the table and argue their way, usually involving something dangerous and borderline malicious use of the product, all the while thinking "we could buy your company with our cash on hand". I think the key was that they're used to being the big dog in the room, and Microsoft made a point of not correcting them when that behavior was seen.
