Can't tell if serious. Hard to imagine than anyone, with the years of experience on the internet that the people on this forum have, would think that that is the reason, but never the less, the main threat is a backdoor into your network to use it in a botnet by the CCP cyberwarfare division (or criminal enterprises, if discovered by black hats). To a lesser extent, there is always the data harvesting of being able to monitor your network for whatever purpose, but people who use smart home bullshit without having it isolated are subject to that from all-of-the-things already.

Know what how i might try to seal up my roofline. wifes coworkers think the metal was cut a hair short. Got screws coming up from the thin board in a few places where it's starting to rot. Has a thin paper like cover over the board. Longer screws gets it down into some other roofing, but probably going to be ongoing issues.
But if i seal it not sure if that's trapping too much moisture.

You would have to remove the bottom row of screws and bend an “L” piece of aluminum to act as a drip edge and protect the edge of the plywood when you slide it under the metal. Then you’d have to put an “inside closure” that’s made for the ribs of your particular metal roof profile. Or you could use an Ultra Vent product like in the AB Martin link.
Either way you’d have to take the bottom screws out, slip the “L” metal under, slip in the closure product you want to use, and then re-screw back the bottom edge through both. If you don’t want to rent an aluminum break and custom bend the metal you can probably get away with buying a C5.5 drip edge and using that. It’s commonly used for rubber roofing around my area. You’ll probably have to cut out the metal around your gutter fasteners. I would probably recommend buying new screws, depending on the age of the roof, so that the neoprene gaskets on the screws that keep the water out are fresh and not all dry rotted and cracked.

Is there not a layer of rubber directly below the metal? Did they do a decking layer over an old layer? Aka 2 layers of board on the roof? Seems odd.

Where I live you are allowed 2 layers of roofing by code - some even do 3 because by then most inspectors are gonna look at the shingles on shingles and be like "how many layers is that" and they will just be like "2 bro"
Now, there are very few roofing companies that will actually do a layer of new shingles over an existing one - you most likely have to waive all your warranty.
I was wanting to do metal over my shingles with 1x3 strips for the anchor screws - I do not have a very complex roof - but... yeah.. do not know if I am really "ready" to take that step in self diy home improvement.
