    Right, thanks. But this can be easily resolved by:

    • Removing devices’ access to WAN, which also vastly reduces the external actor’s ability to compromise them in the first place.
    • Isolating devices from each other with internal firewall rules, allowing them to only interact with the hub host. Is this correct, or am I missing something?

      Good luck explaining how to do any of this to my parents, for example. For someone with a technical background that’s feasible, for someone with an it background it’s even easy. For the other 90 or 95% of people who are actually supposed to buy and use these things, it isn’t. They don’t even know something like this can be done, let alone that it should be done.
