Making "x years of security updates" mandatory is likely to end up in a warning disclaimer every time you turn on the TV after x years: "This device does not receive any more security updates. You may be at risk."

That will either make a large part of consumers paranoid or annoyed. So they will replace a TV that is in perfectly working conditions with a new TV.

Samsung, LG and the consumerist economy would love that!
