I generally agree with your view on OrcaSlicer. I think we have a difference on what is better for the users and the project itself. I think it is better for the users if the maintainers take a stand against Bambu's dictat.

What is Bambu's motivation for being cloud first when it is not technically necessary? Why can't OrcaSlicer be a first class citizen like BambuSlicer? Instead it has to go through Bambu Connect which is inherently clunky and less featureful. It's simple. Control, and vendor lock-in. Possibly, Bambu sees this as a way to curtail print farm automation software from other vendors.
