If you can change the setting to be more forgiving of certain bad
vendors, then so can malware.
What we really need to do is demand better from the manufacturers of
products we use in a "professional environment" - and it is extremely
important we demand better from them now, during the dawn of IoT.
you get 'better' from vendors by maintaining paid support contracts,
doing frequent firmware updates, and regular hardware updates. the
hardware in question here is likely over 5 years old (I know this too
well, I have a rack full of 3-6 year old hardware in my lab at work, all
of which is off support due to it being test/dev, and corporate
budgetary constraints).
Chrome is even worse as far as making it impossible to connect to older
embedded services like the various IPMI remote consoles, etc.
