Having seen a few slippery slope situations like this over the years with IoT and other services, I'm simply not willing to make any concessions in that direction. I use a UDM Pro and turning on cloud access requires associating that hardware with a Unify cloud account. That's already undesirable if you want to safeguard privacy.
Fair enough, the Unifi brand is a consumer/prosumer brand after all.
I guess if you have strict privacy requirements then you would be looking more at enterprise gear anyway.
Why does strict privacy requirements imply enterprise gear?
Because the elites have decided that privacy is only applicable to businesses.

Because it generally has much stricter firewalls, more granular policies, better/more comprehensive logging, no device phone home, and no requirements to sign up for online accounts. All of which make it all much more secure by default due to standard enterprise company requirements, and easier to customise to the users specific secure needs.
Enterprises often have to pass audits and have regulatory compliance requirements. So no surveillance capitalism for them. Where enterprise tech vendors get you is licensing cost.

They pay enough to not become the product
Because enterprises pay a lot of money for strict privacy, whereas consumers pay less if anything.

In addition to the other comments, enterprise infra (almost) never has internet access.
