Your post has made it quite apparent that you have no experience managing these devices in a real world scenario.
>automatically installed on unaware customers equipment.
No.
>they claim this is to "gather crashes and other critical events strictly for the purpose of improving our products", but to be honest; how often does that happen in routers?
Also apparent you have not used their IPv6 stack nor their fq_codel implementation.
>Having it forced with no way to opt-out is also an indication of hostility. They claim they will release a firmware update without telemetry, but no dates have been set.
This move certainly made me scratch my head a little. Especially when Ubiquiti should know their customer base would be less than thrilled.
