Junk IoT manufacturers need to feel fear.

We've reached the point where any clueless business type who pooh-poohs and wishes away security concerns needs to get the idiot bit flipped on them. Today's networked computing environment has reached the point, where this stuff is toxic. It might have been okay for a few isolated frontier weirdos to play with mercury to extract gold, but then when that became a full blown industry, it resulted in toxic consequences we are still dealing with over 150 years later. Maker hipsters playing with a few hardware hacks did little harm. Now that IoT is becoming household, the situation has changed in an analogous way.

Selling insecure devices (be that IoT, wifi routers, etc) is almost like aiding and abetting, in the context of DoS attacks.

If they had to recall all vulnerable devices I am sure they would take security a lot more seriously.

It's the worst way to organize an economy, after every single other way we've thought of so far.
