Will these household appliances with general purpose CPUs and WiFi chips receive the necessary updates for an entire lifetime? I have a CRT TV that is over 17 years old and still works. Will manufacturers provide even 5 years of security updates? Because if not, the next big vulnerability could mean we're all screwed.

My 2 year old LG TV isn't receiving updates to the webOS anymore, and there are some apps for their store which aren't available for older OSes. I don't know how long I can keep buying 'other devices' like Chromecast/Roku to get around the problem.
