There is a negotiation over the agreement. If you don’t agree with an agreement, then buy a different product. Thats how all agreements work. It’s just not very fun to negotiate when there’s a large power imbalance.
Same logic as why you need worker/renter rights, just find another employer/apartment. Sorry that the toaster shocked your wife, but you could have just gotten a different one with better safety standards.
It is great that the government protects consumers. Otherwise, everyone would need to spend hours researching everything before making a rare purchase.
You're conflating human rights and safety issues with broken projector software which seems disingenuous.

On this issue specifically, these projectors seem to be in the tens (possibly hundreds) of thousands of dollars so some research and due diligence doesn't seem that far fetched.
