It's also why FOSS and hacking community is so important. It's exactly so we can fight against something like this, by simply hacking and reflashing our own devices, so we can get rid of all the software-imposed bullshit.
I studied gamedev and always wanted to make games, but I'm really glad that I've instead chosen cybersecurity for my first job thanks to a random optional course about pentesting I had in college. It's a skill that will be more and more important, and I highly recommend to anyone just reading a book or two about hacking, and getting their hands dirty on some IoT hacking labs and writeups as soon as possible.
