I'm not sure any of us has a right to speak for every consumer. I live in a country were majority would likely prefer cheaper devices w/o any security guarantees. Forcing producers to provide 5(?)-years updates will make prices rise, and it could be against interests of a large segment of consumers. The only regulation which I believe would be beneficial for all is obligatory transparency. There should be clear warnings like "The producer expects you to replace this device in 2 years, and will not support it after that", or "This producer doesn't promise anything in regard of this device - use at your own risk"
