"The fact that companies are not already doing this is evidence it's not important to consumers. People may express frustration, but their purchasing behavior speaks louder than their words."

I would like to see evidence before anyone accepts this premise as true. That's like saying smokers don't care about lung cancer, or parents don't care about lead in baby toys, as shown by their purchase behavior.

Security updates are affected by asymmetric information, widespread consumer ignorance and negative externalities. We need solid regulation.
