You wonder why the good guys aren't scanning for the bad gear and getting it blocked by the ISP or replaced by the user.

My old ISP had a "walled garden" set up and if they noted security issues they switched your connection from the Internet to the garden until you fixed the issue and asked to be released.

On second thought, strike ‘slightly’ from that sentence.
