Correct. Most people like myself go with no cloud versions of smart home gear. And use vpn to have a lot more control.

A camera that works only locally (dafang hacks + wyze), home assistant, zigbee/zwave for example.

That's definitely a popular stance in the community of people who care enough to join the home automation and general electronics community, but if 'most people' is a factor, Amazon's best sellers are all "works with alexa" and "no hub required", and all of those products will surely die when their cloud tenancy is turned off.
