It's not just that. IIUC the protocols to talk to the CGMs and pumps have all been reverse engineered. The article says they can only use a specific pump *because* it has a vulnerability. This industry isn't really known for opening up their specs. I guess it's fear of liability and competition.
But it's not like the certified devices are without bugs. And they don't exactly get software updates. It's just a different kind of scary.
