I use a very crude DIY setup for garage doors and yard gate: bought a spare keyfob on aliexpress, took it apart and connected it to wall power supply and ESP relay board running esphome. Works great and will work as long as my garage door and yard gate openers work.

The only drawback is that it's less secure, as it uses RF but I can't be bothered to dig a new cable to gate motor through already paved driveway.

That solution has multiple drawbacks, not least of all you lose access to the sensors (motion, door open/closed state, etc) but also it is difficult to install.

It would, if I had them in the first place (most of the systems I've seen locally don't- it's typically just a motor and keyfob here).
