So glad I saw this before finally getting around to buying one. This is annoying but I am not surprised with the enshitification of everything nice going on in the world.
For a semi open source alternative, Qidi Plus 4 has great hardware. However their QC is not nearly Bambu tier so having to replace a part is possible.
I have 2 qidi max 3s. They have been awesome.
Be wary of any product that requires or even just advertises "the cloud" as a primary feature.
No set of features or improvements over other options is worth being vendor-locked to a shitty company that makes unrepairable hardware that needs to call home and scrape your data to function.
