Here's what it really comes down to. There are people out there that are totally oblivious to technology and that they somehow "trust" it kind of like buying a new car. You trust that it will run everytime you start it and that it won't break down. Even though there could be manufacturer defects, but as long as they don't affect you or you don't know about them you're "okay" so to speak.
Every user should know what kind of hardware they are buying and they should know as much about it as they possibly can. The manuals are usually there for a reason, not just to waste paper. And if they are dumb enough not to understand the hardware they deserve to get compromised. There really is no excuse for not knowing that your network is reachable by anyone if you practically LET THEM IN.
