> can we really call it standalone if you need it to phone home to Meta?

Yes, because etymologically it's "standalone" vs. "wired"; this is akin to how phones are "mobile" vs. (when I was a kid) "landline".

Nitpick: strictly speaking it's standalone vs tethered (which is usually wired, but could be wireless).
