Because this is a light bulb that sells for $6-10. Adding $2 to the price
is just completely unreasonable. The price point needs to be pennies.
Note that this is just one example, but yes, these level of products are
getting "smarter" and we, as security professionals, should encourage
"as strong security as possble" without getting the manufacturers to
just say "sorry, too expensive, I'll go without." (which is,
unfortunately, exactly what's been happening)
