All HN-crowd have friends, family and other folks who "don't know about that". And some of them bought those devices.

But what the fucking fuck have people not understood about this issue?

Someone might run open, free access points, sucking people in to connect and then they fucking MITM everything - inclusive that money transfer from your relative to you. How about that? Yes, you might be affected by this huge fuck up from Lenovo.

I think anyone exposed to the issue's details will understand it very easily. My point is that they won't (be exposed).

The HN crowd is such an insignificant percentage of the overall population that I don't see how word of mouth will have any impact.
