There is also a problem of printers calling home regularly with unknown payload. Add to it that these devices have a camera it's not a good look. Anecdotally mine stopped working in "lan-mode" after two or three weeks before it was allowed to connect and phone home again.

That is also a very good point. Not something I would ever allow.

Keep the target audience in mind though, who probably have Ring cameras and other 'phoney-homey' budget Chinese crap littered around. Still doesn't really register on their radar.
