What you say is true, which makes your appliances roughly as safe as a PC protected the same way, yet some PCs still get busted into, despite those precautions.
And yes, I agree, there are some things more important than securing home systems, but the point is IF this system is released then there WILL be security problems. I don't think most people who aren't IT people will realize that. "Everything controlled via the internet? BRILLIANT!" would be the attitude taken by almost everyone, I think only us tech geeks would have the background to stop and think about the security ramifications. This will most likely lead to bad things happening.
