Sure, we made your Wi-Fi routers phone home with telemetry, says Ubiquiti. What of it?

I use a Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus to manage my UniFi networks. It's cloud enabled and lets me manage my customer UniFi installations from my phone or from my computer, remotely. I guess I'm not really worried because the Ubiquiti UniFi Cloud Key Gen2 Plus is registered on Ubiquiti's network and I can pull statistics as well. Being able to remotely manage a UniFi network 500 miles away is a big time saver for me. The telemetry data has helped me on many occasions diagnose various issues.

If you think about it, don't all "cloud enabled" devices have to phone home and report something to the mothership?
