Ok. I see your point.

Now we are 10 years down the road. 2027.

None of these weak ass devices exist any more, because manufacturers have been forced to develop quality products that are secure and resilient. And that's just the way it is.

As recently as 5 years ago, we had to regularly restart our smartphones because they would crash or just stop working.

That was unacceptable, so manufacturers were forced to address the problem, and now I can't remember restarting my iPhone at all this year.

I'm not saying you are wrong, but there is a hint of the guy busting down the highway with no hands on the wheel of his Tesla, and getting decapitated by a truck the cars' vision systems didn't see. The user bears some responsibility here, but so does the manufacturer.

Maybe we need an "EnergyStar-compliant" rating system for "Internet Secure" standards?

I know I look for EnergyStar-rated appliances, and won't consider other models.

Maybe there is an opportunity for an IP Security standard...? (heck... that's how Elon made his first money.)
