As a US resident, it's not like a domestic vendor would be any better - we don't have anything you'd mistake for data protection laws (and security breach notification requirements primarily emphasize equal notification of shareholders, not consumers.) So, yeah, I'm not going to turn on any of this (and I worry about cheap ubiquitous 5G leading to boxes that don't need to be configured for my wifi to phone home - fortunately, the US is mostly network deployment backwater and it'll be years before that's a real threat, but not for any good reasons.)
But "they have no business" ... isn't particularly stopping them, is it?

In this case, "they have no business..." means it's my personal belief, which supports my own justification into not buying these products. No matter what country the company comes from. I of course make this decision on a product by product basis because in some cases it's hard to avoid them or other factors come into play...
