    People want their decisions reinforced. Humans HATE when their time is wasted. I don’t know the comment, but I can speculate.

    If you told a bunch of people that all of their hard work in isolating their TV was pretty much for nothing and it is quite possible for the TV to simply skip over the measures that they set. Then respond emotionally with “this person sounds paranoid, I did a good job, it will be good enough to protect me and my family” instead of reasoning through “would the company gain something from this that might cause them to implement this?”

    I don’t know why people choose to bury their head in the sand, but also this technology isn’t CIA/NSA spy stuff. They aren’t building a new Amazon Sidewalk-esque mesh network. It is basic, cheap, single-point WiFi repeater technology that has been around for at least a decade and a half. Cheap, easy, profitable. Cars have been shown multiple times to do all of this too…
