Good cost you in ways other than their price - unsafe electrical goods can burn down your house, leaking your personal data can cause you to be robbed or defrauded, food can cause poisoning, etc.
So you might save $5 on the price of the "smart doorbell" and then loose $50,000. Obviously there is some kind of balance that needs to be struck, but the amount of data leaks and fraud is plain out of control at the moment,
