Yeah, this doesn't surprise me one bit. The number of vulns that get patched in home routers is staggering (D-Link is particularly shit-tier and known for this.

Yeah, this doesn't surprise me one bit. The number of vulns that get patched in home routers is staggering (D-Link is particularly shit-tier and known for this.) If there's that many vulns being fixed then imagine the backlog of unfixed vulns... Then imagine how many legitimate issues have to be hand-waved away because engineers know there's no way in hell they'll ever get the time to fix them. And have to prioritize the worst problems. It kind of surprises me that you can just release a commercial product that is dangerous, make tons of money from it, then totally refuse to fix any problems with it. These devices are going to sit on innocent peoples networks who deserve to have privacy and security like anyone else. It's not outside the realm of possibly that an owned device leads to crypto extortion which leads to a business going under. Or maybe someone's intimate pics get stolen and that person then... yeah. Security has a human cost when its done badly.
