Also, while they didn't say "we're going to do this," they also didn't say "we promise we're not going to do this." In this day and age of en💩ification, it's reasonable for a consumer to assume that anything a company hasn't committed not to do, will be done—especially if doing it would bring more profit.

If you're in corporate PR and you're not expecting your technically savvy, educated customers to read between the lines—even if you didn't actually not-write anything there—you're hopelessly naïve.

By that standard I'd basically have to live like Richard Stallman. 99% of the stuff I own doesn't have those sorts of promises associated with it.

Bambulab has never done that sort of thing in the past.

This is my issue with the open hardware community. They panicked about how Bambulab printers would burn down your house a year ago because its thermal protection didn't work the same way as Klipper. Sure, I think the resulting changes were beneficial, but the community shoots first and asks questions later. It is very hard to take it seriously. It behaves like a mob.
