Do you want your TV manufacturer to build a steel cage around your TV because they're afraid that users will complain if they mess up their own TV.
Bad metaphor. Suppose I lived in a world where, if my TV malfunctioned, it could break my phone and my web browser, send random emails to my relatives, riffle through my address book, and delete all the music I've bought over the last five years.
Oh, and there are international criminal gangs who employ networks of botnets to attack my TV every fifteen seconds.
In that world, I'd see a real use case for the steel-cage-equipped TV.
