Not sure what would prevent the average person from buying Ring cameras unless it became commonplace for Ring cameras to be vandalized while other cameras were left alone.

That's just going to grow adoption.

People are buying Ring cameras/AI surveillance because they feel unsafe and are using these cameras to feel safer. If cameras start to get damaged in a specific neighborhood, residents are likely going to see it as a coordinated attack and invest in more cameras, including cameras to watch the other cameras.
