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.)
You're still proselytizing the Myth of the Black Hat, though. Greater good through mayhem. You're arguing that "inconvenience" is equivalent to "deliberate destruction of product" so long as things get better at some point but using that logic, I could make the argument that NSAIDs are safer now that Vioxx has killed somewhere this side of a half million people. Maybe we need this. Maybe we need that. Maybe we need to make it so that the people who buy and install app-controlled gewgaws don't need six months of Khan Academy before they can figure out if they're contributing to a botnet. But there's nothing moral or commendable or admirable about fucking with people's shit because maybe someday their shit will be harder to fuck with. You're basically arguing that hood ornaments are an attractive nuisance and if you don't want your hood ornament stolen, you shouldn't buy a Mercedes. And for fuck's sake, let's stop gloating over those poor benighted users with desktops full of icons as if it's their fault a coder three layers down left a backdoor in the build.
