The argument that the market will not solve this problem is probably correct, which leaves regulation, and that will incense some folks. However, even that leaves the problem of all the devices in existence that may or may not get fixed with that regulation. There are possibly a variety of reasons for that, that might include the company is now gone, the devices are so old as to not be considered important enough to update (and that age number might be laughable in and of itself) or that the company then folds in light of the extra cost and potential lack of income from selling information in the future, and therefore does nothing.
