I believe that this is a slippery slope where the community will assume we're aware of any/all shortcomings in the IoT universe. If I send out report about the WiFi Assist feature in the iPhone, but don't send a warning about <insert device here>, it will be my fault.
There are enough news outlets covering these issues that I don't think it warrants getting involved in. Heck, just had a student complain that she used up her family's data plan because she arrived on campus but didn't connect to our WiFi.
