Agree. I think it depends on the use-case (and a personal interest in open-source and DIY stuff) which solution is the best.

For example with the open serial protocol of the DIY-Thermocam, you can build your own software applications in Python, Typescript, etc. to cover use-cases that are not part of any standalone solution (https://www.diy-thermocam.net/docs/serial/).

And if you are familiar with Arduino microcontrollers, you can change the firmware as you wish and extend it with new capabilities as well (https://github.com/maxritter/diy-thermocam/tree/master/firmw...).

I think that it is where this project shines; the accessibility. After building and setting it up it can work stand-alone, but also integrated with any project you are already familiar with (within reason).
