That would be nice, but a manufacturer who can't be bothered to take even
the most basic security precautions certainly isn't going to implement
this, either.
The only cure to this will be changing the law so that the directors of
the companies that ship massively insecure devices like these are
personally liable for all the financial loss attributed to their products.
Bankrupt a few companies' board of directors and you'll start seeing
things change in a hurry.
