  1. And TP-Link seems to actually support their products, unlike e.g. D-Link which tells their customers to purchase new hardware when they have built-in remote exploit due ridiculously poorly written firmware.

  2. Just change consumer protection laws to force built-in software to be included in warranty. If the manufacturer refuses to fix a known vulnerability, you should be able to return the device for full refund. It shouldn't matter if the manufacturer is local or some foreign country.

  3. I'd argue that TP-Link is at least trying to improve their products because they take part in Pwn2Own and actually pay bounties for published vulnerabilities. As a result, their QA might suck but I don't think they are inserting known backdoors.
