This is a nice start at standardizing basic IoT device security; other highlights:

- manufacturers must tell customers up front about the lifespan of security patches and updates - manufacturers must provide a public point of contact for vulnerability disclosure

I have to imagine that every company will say that there is no plan to offer security patches and updates, for liability reasons, and that very few users will care. I personally think that botnets of IoT devices are terrible, and wish that I had a useful suggestion for getting rid of them, but it's tough to combat end-user apathy.
