Smart switch backdoor connection to "Netgear Regisatration Server"

Could you briefly explain where, in your apparently utterly deranged communist mind, is the idea of hard-wiring your smart switches to automatically connect to your "Netgear Registration Server" acceptable, commercially productive, or even legal to spy on your paying customers? Yes you are, by even connecting, you attempt to expose the status of a switch, which is already a data breach planned, planted, and executed against your customers.

There also seems to be no way to disable this feature. No sane customer should ever trust you, for even trying this. You have not offered this feature as an opt-in either, or even disclosed the full range of IP addresses related to your "Registration", so that your customers could exercise their right to not use this coupled "service". One would need to monitor network traffic on a trunk to explicitly detect & block you backdoor snooping, which fulfills the crtieria of Netgear having deployed an exploit device.

I will see to discouraging ALL companies I work with, to avoid Netgear like the plague. This is not a commercial mistake on your end, this is deliberately creating a backdoor in your devices sold, a planted network breach measure you offer no opt-in or even opt-out for. This is a criminal offence in most civilised countries.
