Yep exactly. This stuff quickly falls into “choose your battles” for me, and I’d rather just offload the issue

As long as you're happy with having your home wi-fi potentially controlled by the cloud...

[andrewaylett]

The Unifi range is quite definitely optional cloud. Don't turn it on (and don't use a cloud-based controller!), and it won't have any mechanism for control.

You can even use the mobile apps over direct connection, with local auth and no cloudy relay required.

You can run the controller on your own hardware, without any outside internet access if you so wish. It’s as cloud as you want it. They also support direct remote access.
