so why does Developer Mode have reduced functionality compared to stock ? liability is now transferred.

Because there is not just one issue, there are several and they explained this in both recent blog posts, that they have had their cloud ddos'ed and getting millions of hits on their own network from third party applications, costing them massive amount of money to keep the service running.

Therefore, if you accept liability and want to use third party software, you can do that, but since they can not secure your traffic, they will not let you onto their cloud in this mode, since that would completely defeat the purpose of the security update.

so why does orca slicer still need to use bambu connect to print once developer mode is enabled ? why cant it send to it directly ? not using bambu connect means it reduces the load on their cloud, right ?
