Even if this actually becomes widespread (indeed I am not aware of any consumer device providing pass-through network access through its HDMI port), I'd expect most devices to have a toggle for this or a privacy-friendly company like Apple might even make the lack of that "feature" a selling point.

The world is a sad place, the fact that we have to pay a premium so we don't get features.
We need companies to rise up against this bullshit. It won't matter until the customer base is educated in privacy.
We need a massive campaign to spread privacy awareness. Only then, there could be a market. Apple can afford to do this because they're big and they already have a customer base. A mid-sized company trying to sell privacy oriented products in a mass market is going to be left in the dust.
The society continues to regress. No one cares.
