100% agree, but I have to wonder how much of the problem is that the cost of security is:
A. Not mandated
B. Increases cost of the product
At what point would people just prefer a regular toothbrush if a smart one doesn't provide enough utility to justify the cost?
This isn't specific to toothbrushes, but I wonder what products or services wouldn't exist if they were made to be secure (or safe/ethical/sustainable/etc). Makes me wonder how many existing externalities are causing hard to measure problems that could be prevented by making a higher quality product.

In the past, and in the present, there are many companies who are willing to kill people for the sake of profits, if they can get away with it legally. IMHO, any commercial violations of human rights, like privacy, should have criminal penalties.
