Do you actually think a judge would find that negligent, or is this just your own personal definition of negligence? Because I doubt that a judge, or even an ordinary person, could possibly consider it such.One can argue (and I will) that there is indeed some culpability because the buyer bought the cheapest version of everything and connected it to a negligent provider's system.
And the average consumer can avoid the culpability in this scenario, how, exactly? "If people place a nice chocky in their mouth, they don't want their cheeks pierced" http://orangecow.org/pythonet/sketches/crunchy.htm
