Sadly ubiquiti seems to be going downhill on multiple fronts.

So disappointing. I can finally afford to buy all the Ubiquiti equipment I wanted in the past but no longer want to buy it. I went TP-Link Omada for my APs and have been satisfied.
I bought a TP-Link Kasa smart outlet to power cycle my modem in the basement. I couldn't get the open source Python utility to activate it so I relented and set it up via the official app. The account creation explicitly has a marketing opt-out that they promptly ignored. They have also ignored all my unsubscribe attempts from their spam. I'd recommend avoiding them.
Omada is their SMB line so they act a bit differently. You can freely use the hardware without any registration or restriction.
I also just set up an Omada system (8 switches, 20 APs) for a friend for the first time after recommending UniFi for years. Very happy with it so far.
been like that for a while now
