Just castrate its access to internet. Initially you can full block it, in time people will figure out which domains need to be blocked. If they can't upgrade your firmware, they can't install these new features.

I may be lucky. I am an expat, and I bought mine in China. Now I am in Malaysia. So I may not have this issue. But your points are likely true.
