The only routers vulnerable to that exploit were routers that were deliberately configured to be open to the internet, no router with the shipped default config was vulnerable. The vulnerability was patched out in a bugfix release months before the exploit happened, so additionally it was un-updated routers at risk.
That's something entirely different from what happened with Ubiquiti.

True, I bought it because of the 10gb ethernet and youtubers recommending it. I didn't realize it was also a router with a 45 dollar license key.

many people switch not simply for the security/security-theatre, but because they no longer want to support a company with such poor security strategy after it is revealed that they have internal issues.

They all do though. And if they don't, they're all at risk to. The best you can do is make decisions that reduce dependence on them for when they fuck up. That's why I went with the edge router line to begin with. I've already planned for this situation.

Less dopamine, though.
IMO using what we have intelligently is easier. Uniquiti hardware has the Edge line of routers and switches that are not cloud-controlled, not listen on any ports, and not establish any connections on your behalf.
