I think I agree with you generalle but just from a logics perspective, this is a bad argument:
> There will always be security issues, so "but security" is not a reason to prevent a consumer from doing whatever they want with a thing that they purchased from you
Just because there will always be security issues doesn't mean you shouldn't try to take care of the low hanging fruit.
If I pay you for a product, you have no moral right to tell me what I can and cannot do with that product, up to and including messing with the firmware, installing known-bad firmwares, wiping it and building my own firmware, whatever I want. It's mine, I paid for it, stop violating my private property rights.
