Creality/Bambu killed more small companies (and Reprap) than it bothered Stratasys IMHO.

But yes...there very well may be a security concern there too. Bambu sends/receives info from the companies servers. At least once this has allowed a supposed firmware update to cause a large number of printers to start printing uncommanded. This is a major safety and security risk and it was largely ignored by the consumer community due to Bambu "making things easier".

So yeah...perhaps we should start looking into these companies...and exactly where their subsidies do/may come from.
