Not quite. At least, not by my estimation.
SAW was (at least originally) about a self-righteous psychopath pushing people to face their own failings and prove they had the will to live, in order to encourage them to not waste their lives. There was, of course, the underlying motivations of said psychopath's own anger and judgement, but entertainment was not a motivation.
Squid Game was about a group of wealthy elite taking advantage of people in dire financial situations - situations created, either actively or passively, by the behavior of a culture that serves those wealthy elite - and killing them for entertainment. Those wealthy elite aren't psychopaths, they simply believe themselves above moral concerns and the people they set up to die.

While I appreciate the dig at the police state I don't acknowledge anything as being Transformers unless Soundwave is a 1980s boom box that has a wise cracking Rumble as a casset tape.

I mean, when you account for Barricade it does seem plausible.

Commercial operation shouldn't matter, what if a comedian does a parody of something for their standup show and then sell a DVD as well of it.
What about comedy skits parodying certain movies? There's legitimate cases where you should be able to parody things and get money from it. Toys included. Remember the garbage pail kids lawsuit? Or Uri Geller going after the Pokemon company because of Kadabra's spoon bending.
Lawsuits like it limit things and is not good from a consumer standpoint, we've had no new Kadabra cards ever since because of that.
It is fair use regardless of what ends up getting ruled. It's one thing to flat out steal something, it's another to be transformative for the sake of comedy, which is exactly what's happening here, even if that comedy is in poor taste.

Kinda reminds me of the time when Upton Sinclair wrote The Jungle intending to highlight workers conditions at the time but instead lead to food safety legislations and angencies instead

This is a solution in search of a problem. How is my life improved by having an IoT refrigerator or dishwasher or stove? For that matter how is my life improved by adding a flat panel display on the fridge? So I can look inside by hitting a button instead of, you know, looking inside by opening the door?
This is what happens when a bunch of suits scramble to catch the next wave without any clue as to what that wave may be or why it might be important.
Edit - spelling

No, the military is trying to get people into the military. Recruitment is at a record low and the US Armed Forces are great at psyopping young, stupid boys.

There's only few practical feature I would use in a smart appliance... A shopping list on my fridge. Make it so I can quickly mark things that I ran out of, and add additional ones, that then sync to my phone when I'm at the grocery store... Done deal!.... But why I'm the flying duck did my washer need to have an app, or my range of microwave, is beyond me!... I start it, it beeps when it finishes, done! I don't need more want an app for that!
