I don't see how this is a problem exactly? If people want to buy devices that connect to their home network, they need to be aware of what these devices can do, and it is their responsibility.
Better to teach them _now_ rather then later.If Timmy Numbnuts doesn't understand that plugging in a random device he found at Goodwill to his network could potentially carry liabilities, then he will keep doing it.
I point to the current trend of parents watching and smiling, doing nothing as their kids destroy people's stores and restaurants. ISPs are literally doing the exact same thing when it comes to coddling their customers.
