I'm not really sure there is enough evidence behind your assertion. Google wifi APs have got continuous updates from Sep. 2015 to current day. Sonos players have been continuously supported for 15 years. Apple's just-released OS runs on 7-year-old hardware. There are and have always been fly-by-night organizations that sell junk with bad software and no updates. That's not new, nor is the existence of reputable vendors with long support policies.

All the brands you've cited are "luxury" brands whose proposition includes long-term support.

It's a different market segment that doesn't refute GP's point.

I’m not going to be hacked because of my Apple TV or my google Wifi router; it’s going to be my light switch that does me in.

Your Apple TV runs 3rd party apps, any of which could be hacking you.
