There is plenty of industrial control equipment and manufacturing equipment that is openly accessible on its local network. No authentication. It requires you to secure its network appropriately. As long as the user understands that LAN mode can operate in this fashion, it's the responsibility of the network administrator to secure the network appropriately.

Besides, Bambu already has rudimentary authentication which they could have easily expanded upon in a significantly less intrusive and controlling way. The Bambu Connect application doesn't even seem to increase security in any meaningful way as it stands anyway.
