The other unfortunate side-effect of this research is that they just explained in detail how to hack into an un-suspecting users pump.

Imagine the other version of this story, where an advanced attacker does all of this, because "Prominent Political Figure X" wears this insulin pump...

This isn't enough to attack the pump in that way you'd still have to defeat the pairing step to make the pump accept commands from a transmitter.

Aside from all the technical arguments, why don’t more devices give me clear explicit control (pairing, even if I want to allow remote control) and even better transparent indication of how the device is running

To what extend would you be willing to write down a living will exonerating the manufacturer and be extra clear with your loved ones that you're choosing to take a risk?
