Diese Stellungnahme oder Damage Control Maßnahme nehme ich nicht ganz so ernst und ich habe auch kein großes Vertrauen in die Versprechen, die dort getätigt werden.
Naja, das ist letztendlich immer und überall die Frage, ob man Aussagen vertrauen schenkt, oder?
Könnte man bei jedem Hersteller sagen "naja, das glaube ich denen aber nicht, nächste Woche kostenpflichtiges Update!!!111".
Für mich klingen die Aussagen sehr vernünftig und relativieren die ganzen Befürchtungen - insbesondere mit Orca Slicer:

The Truth About Our Security Update
We’ve been reflecting on the misinformation circulating about our security update, and while it’s disheartening to see these misunderstandings arise, we acknowledge that our communication might have contributed to the confusion.
Videos, posts, and comments have claimed that we are restricting third-party tools or forcing users into a closed ecosystem. Let's be clear about what this update actually means and stop the spread of misinformation:
- This is NOT about limiting third-party software. We're creating Bambu Connect specifically to ensure continued third-party integration while enhancing security. We're actively working with developers like Orca Slicer to implement this integration.
- This is beta testing, not a forced update. The choice is yours. You can participate in the beta program to help us refine these features, or continue using your current firmware.
- About Panda Touch. We reached out to BTT as soon as we became aware of their product. We warned them that using exploited MQTT protocols was unsustainable and would place customers in an awkward situation once we updated the system. All of this communication occurred before the mass shipment of Panda Touch; however, they chose to ignore our warnings. Unfortunately, the truth is now being presented in a misleading manner. The same concerns apply to other products they manufacture that rely on these MQTT protocols.
- Camera feeds concerns. Our Live View service uses P2P (Peer-to-Peer) connection, which means video streams directly between your device and printer. Only when a direct P2P connection isn't possible does it use server forwarding, and even then, no video is ever stored on any server.

Third-Party Software Integration with Bambu Connect
Bambu Connect, currently in development, is designed to be a streamlined interface that maintains the convenience users expect while adding necessary security protocols. We're actively working with third-party developers to ensure the workflow minimizes disruption to existing user processes.
When using third-party slicing software like Orca Slicer, the difference in users experience is not much. As you can see in the following video, the whole workflow is almost the same from the users' perspective. The previous device tab in the slicer is replaced by a new application window.
Integration Demo: From Orca Slicer to Printer Through Bambu Connect
Note: This demonstration shows our approach to the implementation of Orca Slicer integration. The functionality has been implemented, and is now awaiting integration into Orca Slicer.
The integration is seamless, activating only when needed to handle printer communications. Users retain full visibility of their print progress, including real-time monitoring of temperatures, print status, and other critical parameters. This approach maintains the flexibility of third-party software while ensuring all printer commands pass through secure, verified channels.

Ich finde auch nicht, dass man erwarten oder verlangen kann, wenn man eine Drittparty Software verwendet, dass diese dann alle Funktionen der OEM Software haben muss.
Man kann ja die kostenlose Software des Herstellers verwenden.
Wenn einen alternativen Launcher auf deinem Handy installierst, beschwerst dich ja auch nicht beim Handy Hersteller, wenn Features des OEM Launchers fehlen.
Auf Reddit beschweren sich immer nur paar Hardcore User, welche vom schlimmsten ausgehen und das ganze kocht schnell hoch.
Mal schauen, wie sich das ganze letztendlich entwickelt - bin aber nach dem Statement sehr optimistisch
Die Drucker sind nach wie vor spitze, denke man profitiert am Ende davon.
