I don't understand what you're trying to say here. The fact that companies will now be liable means that if even a single person is affected, not only is there clear liability, the kind of offenses that aren't sued for right now, because the payoff is to low to cover the court costs, are suddenly perfectly viable class action suits for amounts in the hundreds of millions of dollars against single manufacturers.
That's a huge shift, and about as far from "moot" as you can get.
I think what is being discussed here in liability for companies purchasing insecure devices, rather than the manufacturers of those devices.
It is reasonable to say that, even if companies are discouraged from purchasing insecure devices, that won't necessarily deter consumers purchasing insecure devices for their households. The threat from devices in households is perhaps even greater than in businesses, if the number of households in question is great enough.
That's a huge shift, and about as far from "moot" as you can get.
