To be fair all of the companies in the 3D printing industry built their business on the backs of the open source community and pretty much all of them are some level of shitty towards the community. Creality and most others regularly violate licenses by dragging their feet and only complying when people really complain. Even Prusa has started to back away from open source.
Bambu is just catching shit for being the Apple of 3D printing. They are trying the hardest to build a walled garden.
I don’t know about walled garden they haven’t shown anything about limiting other filaments. That would be the big one. I admit I started buying their filament but it’s because where I live it is one of the cheapest options especially when buying bulk.
They are keeping tight control over with what software you can use to run your printer. They’ve only ever moved in a more restrictive direction. They’re turning up the temp little by little, some day their customers will be in hot water.
