If it's possible for you to do what you're describing to your own IoT device, wouldn't it also be possible for you to do it to other people's laptops and phones that are on your Wi-Fi?

Might be, but that’s not my concern as an operator of my private home network.

It’s completely fine for there to be conflicting goals even held by me. I want to not have my traffic interfered with when I’m on someone else’s network but I don’t want the vulnerable internet of shit stuff to be even more opaque on my network.
