I don't get what you're saying here. What "offending behavior" are you referring to in this case that might be taxed to disincentivize it?

Suppliers can already make binding promises about their hardware. If you open your wallet wide enough, you can already buy enterprise grade hardware that comes with guaranteed long term support.

OP says, amongst other things:

> I’ve advocated for the FCC to require device manufacturers to support their devices with security updates for a reasonable amount of time [1].

So the offending behaviour in this case would be for a manufacturer not to provide security updates.
