Your optimism about how secure network-connected devices are against e.g. being added to a bot net in the status quo seems misplaced.
I agree with your concern not just for the future but for today. Something like TPMs could help attest that that example TV is running the software you think it is.
Of course, that would require manufacturers to care about security for their customers, which they currently don't. And the average person doesn't care enough, so the only way to change this is legislation/regulation.
