I understand that it's already insecure but seriously?

Name another 7-year-old home wifi access point that still gets manufacturer software updates. The contemporaneous Asus RT-N66U stopped getting new releases years ago and in all likelihood contains a bunch of vestigial vulnerabilities. OnHub got scores of software updates over its life and the only time they had a CVE it was patched and pushed to all hardware globally in less than 24 hours. I don't see how this model of control is not clearly superior.
