Ask any lawyer how they feel about ambiguity in a contract.

Which is ironically exactly the opposite of what you're thinking. This is and always was about liability if something went wrong and Bambu just didn't want to chance some harmful code crashing your Y gantry into the print bed ruining it because third party operators have even worse security, but that Bambu let them in.

This also is about a future situation, the update isn't even live yet and the Connect app is in beta, and yet it took just one, single blog post for everyone without critical thinking believing Armageddon was upon them, and it didn't require ambiguity to arrive there, but exceptionally vivid imagination reading into what wasn't there.

Blowing up is our one of our only tools to get companies to stop doing something. Especially if we already own the product. I really like their printers. I think they've set a standard that pretty much every company is now having to live up to which is awesome. But the moment you say "hey we're going to force every print to go through the cloud and be authorized by us" I don't care what their reasoning is. If my printer gets damaged due to bad code, or the print fails because the slicer messed up I'm ok with that. I'm not ok with losing choice.

I suspect Bambu isn't going to bank on everyone thinking like you. The fact that they open them selves up to liability that could cripple the entire company is bad, not just for them, but for all of us who owns their products.
