2. Buy plugs and "things" that can be flashed to Tasmota. (these don't appear to be)
3. Set DHCP reservations for specific devices with their MAC to IP mapping.
4. Place them on a separate SSID on a separate VLAN that has extremely limited connectivity to other internal networks and the Internet.
5. Control DNS for the devices and return NXDOMAIN for the many obscure, unnecessary, and questionable domains they attempt to connect to.
6. Don't use their "app" to interact with them - use a home automation platform or similar to manage them, and interact with them through the automation app (or use your own custom API calls if so inclined) - see #1.
They take more work initially, but once the initial configuration is complete, I don't worry too much about them. The most challenging part anymore is finding ones that can be easily flashed to Tasmota because many of them switched to a different chip that's not as friendly to convert. However, it sounds like some progress is being made with those through alternative firmwares such as OpenBeken.
Not that most people are doing these things.
In other news, I have had success flashing some KMC devices (not this one) to tasmota/openbk.
GorillaBread is right. These types of gadgets are a hole that gives access to the rest of your network. Sort of like keeping your house key under the mat. Sure you only want the cleaning lady to use it but when someone else finds it...

I'm sure the average person has a ton of holes in their network ie older routers. Not using something like this isn't going to secure anything for like 89% of people. Even IT departments get hacked all the time.
I'm kinda stuck at "you like words." What does that mean, exactly? I suppose posting a comment on SD means I like words. I'm unsure. However I do love etymology, so I'll give you that.
Also, you're the first person I've encountered who monitors their network 24/7. Good on you mate.

But do you like entomology?

I had some meshforce routers on my smart home network I have and Pi-hole kept blocking it from pinging China.... Looking it up, it was common and people wee not sure what data it was for. Got rid of those and bought some Eero routers, so I could only imagine what these would send.

A few uses.
I use Google home to turn on my workshop heaters when I want to work out there and then turn them off after two hours so I don't have to remember to.
I haber other plugs that turn on for a couple hours a week to top off devices/batteries that are hooked up to chargers but don't need to be charging 24/7 as energy vampires. Like cameras batteries, lawn mower batteries. And then if I do something like more the lawn I tell Google home to turn on the plug the chargers are on for a few hours so I don't have to wait for three weekly top off and they can be used again later in the day.
And to turn on my gas fireplace when I don't feel like getting my lazy ass off the couch to go flip the switch.
