OTP and e-fuses are also evil. Devices should never be forced to become e-waste over them being set "wrong". There should always be a factory reset option that clears everything.

How do you propose patching security vulnerabilities in deployed devices?

Why would that require fuses? You store the firmware in flash, which can be updated to a newer version, restored to the original version or replaced entirely with third party firmware by the device's owner if the OEM fails to patch it, e.g. because they go out of business.
