In a phrase "risk assessment". The risk of being h4ck0r3d probably in many situations might be considered lower than the risk of someone having a larger todger^Wuptime.

I know of at least one device referenced in this thread as being a "show" piece, running on a carefully-managed UPS, hand-carried on at least one occasion (with other hands carrying said UPS within a 5' radius of the device...), all to be able to say "we have a device with XXXX uptime!". As far as I know, there are no Ethernet cables into the device. Hence, no risk. ;)
