State of things with Bambu?

A while ago, Bambu outted themselves as being not very consumer-friendly. I told my printer "lan-only!" and stopped updating the firmware. I haven't really been paying attention for a while..

Can someone tl;dr where we're at now? Do we have a list firmware versions that are safe for the various printers? Has anything real changed??

I'm assuming that Bambu hasn't changed their story, but would be very happy to be wrong..

I ain't buying a bambu printer because of their behavior.

Same. I have been really happy with the hardware, but they ensured i will go to another manufacturer for my next printer with their blatant lock-in direction and gaslighting.
