What do you mean? I have a Unifi 24 poe switch at home and I feel like Ubiquiti could do whatever they wanted with it. If I had more time I would have chosen some device with OPNSense.
UniFi doesn’t need a license, you just buy the switch and install the network app. Meraki will totally turn off your network if you ever stop paying for a license.
You’re just renting their hardware until you stop paying for the license, then it’s an expensive paperweight.

I don’t believe you can use OPNSense on a switch. Switches are in layer 2 typically and have hardware that switches.
Technically you can run OpenWRT on some switches but it is still experimental and it is very much not enterprise grade
Separate thread; how can Ubiquiti “do whatever they want with it”? You control the updates.
Well, the OS is their doing. If it has a backdoor, I don’t know. I don’t fully trust it.
That’s true of any closed source OS, of which I’m sure you run at least 2.
I use GrapheneOS, Bazzite & Aurora. I have a Chromecast though, I’m still deciding how to replace it.
