Isn't the goal of security to remove the lowest hanging fruit and keep at it?

In one sense, sure. But IMO regulating the IoT "industry" in a general way is a bad idea because it will just shift the low hanging fruit around some, while ultimately stifiling innovation, which is what is needed for any deep, meaningful security to happen in the long term .

I cannot take this idea that "innovation" will be stifled because people were told to actually give a shit about what they were doing. Honestly, if it means that fly by nite groups aren't releasing their "innovations" out there, I'd consider it a pretty good trade.

Obviously the products out there that aren't giving a fuck are still selling. There isn't a market without buyers.
