We know. A lot of stuff gets connected to the Internet that should not be. The architecture is wrong, too. Sure, I want my fridge to notify me on my phone about shortage of ketchup, or something. But it should not be doing it through third party's crappy server.
In a way, it's the problem of the current Internet, but exported to the hardware world. Just like NATs killed publishing, they also kill sanity in the design of connected things. I wish we could deploy IPv6 faster. Yes, I want my fridge to have its own IP - so that I won't have to proxy the communication through some random fly-by-night web startup.
