I would settle for something like - "any network functionality in consumer devices must be open sourced and user modifiable"
It is probably too high a bar for most manufacturers, so they will not likely include such functionality.
These days I would prefer it say that the documentation for communication protocols and for any computer control interface or network functionality must supplied and destination any addresses configurable by the user.
Yes, I'd be fine as long as there's a clear documentation and that I can control it within my local network even if the company's servers are down
