Except the "comically" part (what does even mean? I'd call it "sad" if anything) I agree with you. You had (1) strong marketing and (2) lack of choice on one side, and a few tech folks that were expressing their concerns on this for years, except that the public at large didn't care - or didn't have much choice (e.g. when you buy a vacuum cleaner). I hope this whole row will make people just a bit more aware. But it's hard to say how much it will help. An average person is powerless when seeing "Connect to Wi-Fi to complete setup" on their screen - whether it's their new TV set or a new laptop.
