I can't understand how any of original commenters points are poignant when its a proven technology deployed in large scale in many asian countries. If security and unreliability was an issue, why is it still widespread and adopted in all these countries, and these examples have proven its much more than a feature.

Metric system, Tankless water heaters, Anime, Rice cooker appliances, cheap competitive cell phone service, cheap competitive broadband. Its not exactly the first thing to work great in Asia and not sell in the USA.

cultural differences still doesn't make any of the commenters points relevant. Theres a better comment higher up explaining security.
