Coincidentally I recently read somewhere that the Ubiquity firmware is actually based on OpenWRT.

I thought the Ubiquiti stuff used VyOS (fork of Vyatta)?

No, it's Vyatta-based.

The Unifi APs run OpenWRT. The Edgerouters and USGs run EdgeOS which is a fork of Vyatta 6.3. The Dream Machines run UnifiOS. I'm somewhat out of the Unifi loop these days as I only use the APs since my Edgerouter died in 2020, so am not up on what Unifi OS is based upon.

I won't say they never ran OpenWRT, but I've used several generations of Unifi AP's and every one used unifiOS which is based on Vyatta. If they did run OpenWRT, they haven't in well over a decade.

At least ac lite and nanohd are openwrt-based, so definitely less than a decade.

I suggest sshing to one of your Unifi APs and verifying. My APs are running firmware version bz.6.5.28 released 3 months ago. It is based upon OpenWRT 17.01.6 according to the /etc/openwrt_release file on the AP.
Below are the complete contents of the file:
DISTRIB_ID='LEDE' DISTRIB_RELEASE='17.01.6' DISTRIB_REVISION='r3979-2252731af4' DISTRIB_CODENAME='reboot' DISTRIB_TARGET='ar71xx/ubnt' DISTRIB_ARCH='mips_24kc' DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION='LEDE Reboot 17.01.6 r3979-2252731af4' DISTRIB_TAINTS='no-all mklibs busybox'
