I know [edit: guessing] you're not being serious, but until there are laws mandating this in given markets, the security risks will ALWAYS be unknowingly carried by the consumer. In a hypothetical world where a manufacturer differentiates by advertising a product as "Now with security updates guarenteed for 10 years!" consumers will suddenly realise they've been sold garbage until that point. It just won't happen.
