>You're comparing urgent care to ER to somehow argue people view both DDoS and food poisoning in dollars?
No. I'm responding to:
>You measure your health in dollars?
And apparently reading it with a different intent than it was written with.

>If you went around and asked people whether their restaurants should be shut down for unsanitary practices, do you think you would get a response on the same planet as what you would get if you asked them about their IoT devices getting shut down?
They should, yes. I don't really think they do though. Botnets cause them harm (they're often used to hide the source of hacks, which often target financial info, which does affect millions of people), but it's often further removed than food poisoning, so it's harder for them to identify the cause. They're also usually more attached to purchases of things that work for longer than a meal lasts.
People don't have visceral reactions to things in line with what they should rationally fear. I don't think anyone would debate that. I'm arguing DDoS (and everything else botnets are used for) are in that "does not get an appropriately strong reaction" category.
