Sometimes you have to spend money on security. You can decide whether you use daily your 50 years old oldtimer BMW or you buy the latest Volvo (or whatever) with the best security package available. At least you have to option to choose.

The problem in this case, is that you have to buy the "latest Volvo"
And then you have to buy a new garage to put it in, because the old garage was too small
And you have to digitize all your CD's because it only has a phone connection
Except you have to replace your phone, too, because it's too old for Android Auto (or the iPhone equivalent)
It's the ripple-on effect of having to migrate all the devices that vendors don't bother to "fix"

Also: the "latest Volvo" may have lots of UX regressions compared to your "old Volvo". Like, all that cloud SaaS bullshit and bloated vendor apps home printers now ship with. So, beyond having to upgrade everything else around you, you may be simply facing the problem of degrading your experience to keep yourself secure.

This! For printers in particular, i'm struggling to find entry-level things with only physical buttons. Why the heck are (cheap) touchscreens everywhere?
