This is only bad for draconian IoT manufacturers who want to enforce their terms of service and artificial limitations on hardware they think consumers are leasing but consumers think they are buying.

No kidding. What really grinds my gears is the fact that these authoritarian "security" people are effectively helping to tighten the nooses around everyone else, and very eager to do it too. It's one thing to post about an exploit you've found and help the community, but I'll never agree or help anyone who goes snitching to the company about it. In the "old school" hacking culture you would be called a corporate sellout, or worse, for doing that.
