When I buy technology today, I'm 10X more worried about the manufacturer deliberately changing, killing or nerfing the product after I bought it, than I am worried about hackers compromising it. This goes for connected hardware, IOT devices, and software.

Oddly "hackers" are the ones who often revive defunct hardware or give users back control over their devices. Things like DRM laws seem to only enhance corporate interests.
