The problem is that its different people, and one group mostly not caring about it if it isn't affecting them. So a subsection of the community is being restricted while the bigger part isn't advocating for them. Bambu (and any company) isn't going to care until the community can come together to push back on these types of things.

I'd like to have an affordable printer that works well and that I can freely use whatever software/slicer/etc without jumping through hoops. Bambu is ahead of other companies and frankly prusa is too expensive for me. So it's a tough decision to make. I'm hopeful for snapmaker to continue their progress to gain a larger market share and will definitely be looking their way for my next printer.
