A software bug in a coffee machine sounds like a problem of management not understanding the product market they're in.

No, Management completely understands.

Closed source software/hardware is a data exfiltration device first, and the thing they're sold for secondarily.

TVs, Blurays, set top boxes, MS Windows.. All of them are the same.
