But when your premise is MANY sites across the country, and you are using a single controller, only ONE site gets the controller on prem, OR you have many controllers running.

At the end of the day, it comes down to what my time is worth doing other things (not how much im paid, but the opportunity cost of me managing management interface infrastructure, stability, and resources. Unifi cloud, for lack of a better phrase, just works.)

yes, totally agree, in that sort of scenario with many premises you would set up your own internal L3 management of the APs, in your own management VRF, in RFC1918 IP space.
