I appreciate the tongue-in-cheek, but I think there‘s really the chance for better IoT security when using a VM. Those things are connected to the internet (duh) and sandboxing is probably a good idea. You obviously don’t need a VM for that, but maybe the tradeoffs are favorable.

99% of the security issues in the IoT things are software design stupidity. Using a "safe" language or "sandboxed" VM cannot save your lightbulb when it's main loop includes "fill buffer with content from HTTP endpoint and execute it"
