"Insurers will love having more data" - but there's one thing they'll love far, far more.

"Remember to check regularly for security updates for all your door knobs" ... wait, you didn't have the latest security patch installed on your door knobs when they broke in? Oh, but as that's a breach of your insurance policy, we won't be able to pay out. The policy clearly states you are required to install the very latest update within five minutes of release, regardless of what the patch is or does - look, it's here, in the footnote on page 94 - so it's actually your fault we can't pay you.
