If the hardware is so old that it cannot remain adequately secure, then it should be replaced. Just as no one would think of accessing their bank accounts on an iPhone 4 in 2020, eventually WiFi-enabled speakers should be replaced. Now, did Sonos handle the public announcement well? No. But as a result of the backlash they will now be supporting their older products much longer than most tech companies do. I think that they had the right motives, they just needed to communicate better.
