I dunno man.....speaking purely about the security and privacy risks of IOT can't you as an individual consumer just....not own them or at least reduce your dependency on them if you're really concerned? Smart medical devices and the like have many benefits and drawbacks but that's for the institutions to manage. The individual consumer in his daily life though....do they really need a smart fridge, smart car, smart washing machine, smart shower, smart home, smart whatever etc? What next? Smart underwear? If you're going to wire yourself into a grid, at least make sure the grid is designed with security in mind (which it currently isn't)
