I dealt with a similar question in this article: Does the STEEM Blue Paper respond to a recent decision by the SEC to consider some Crypto-Currencies Securities?
I see both"Due Diligence"and strategic moves in reaction to decisions by the SEC... but maybe I'm just seeing pictures in the sky.
I see the same things as you. In time, the SEC is regulating more not less, so ICO factories will most likely become somehow regulated. A smart move would be get some legal frameworks in place before anything is released.
