Incidents like the recent Checkm8 hack illustrate the dangerous of a monoculture. The designers need to really up their game. Something like, on first boot the device scrambles the microcode in the CPU. Then on each further boot encrypts memory access per process. That way each device would be unique and no individual hack could infect the entire population.
