I would hope that this becomes relatively simple at some point.

1. I have this box that says I get updates until 2025-01-01.

2. It is 2023-09-05.

3. I have applied all available security updates.

4. Vulnerability X is still exploitable and has been made public to the manufacturer for 4 months.

5. Get full refund for defective product.

Obviously we are a long way from this. Especially 4 being hard to make a concrete rule for.
