The problem is that there are usually no other alternatives, or at least not any easily accessible. Heck, these days even routers require app activation for no reason other than to be shitty.
There should be a law against this. All hardware requiring an app should also have an open API.
There are more often than not alternatives that exist that don’t have this requirement.
I’ve probably been unlucky with the ones sold at my nearest electronics store.
