It would be good if a certification organization or insurance company would validate IoT hardware, saying "this will be supported with these features at this price point for at least N years, or will refund you the original purchase price of the hardware." The certification organization would bear the liability for this, so they would make sure they had watertight contracts with the manufacturers, and would collect risk premiums or collateral in case the manufacturer went insolvent.
