The active attacks are the equivalent of "weather" on the Internet. It's nothing like protecting against violent crimes. If I bought a new house and the roof leaked after only 5 years of regular weather I would certainly expect the contractor to fix it, and file a construction defect lawsuit if they didn't.


Only if you attach the thing directly to the Internet. Would you drive a regular car through a war zone?


Do you frequently buy home routers for the purpose of not attaching them to the internet?


I don't attach cameras directly to the Internet.


I don't either, but many products are designed to do exactly that. It's called the Internet of Things (not the VPN of things) for a reason! :-)
