Even better, they should be required to publish the communication protocol as soon as the device is released.

That would be ideal, but this sort of changes the topic from reliability to interoperability.

I’m pretty sure this is merely temporary state of things, as IoT is still a novelty and most people are unaware about new failure modes.

I hope - as the realization becomes common - the demand for devices that will keep working until they mechanically break is going to eventually become a marketing point.
