Sorry to be paranoid, but is this current info from your personal experience?
Because that's how it was years ago, and then they tried to make the cloud account compulsory, and the last time I asked around it was sort of not compulsory but you still needed to create one for the initial setup and only then put your AP somehow in standalone mode.

I am not GP but I can provide my perspective. I currently use 5 of their switches and 2 of their APs in my house. You do not need a UI account to use the network server locally to manage the devices. I run my server on a debian 12 box.
I locally return nxdomain for several domains they try to lookup. I setup a firewall rule to log any packets from their macs trying to send anything outbound. Apart from my test packets they haven't done so. If you don't nxdomain the domains they lookup then you will see that traffic.
I have not tried the new Unifi OS Server this post is about.
You can setup and initialize an AP with a controller, and that controller doesn't require a cloud account or internet access.

I self host the controller/network (slightly outdated, 9.1 vs 9.3) with no cloud. Adopted a new U7 pro a few weeks ago, still no cloud.
So everything still works as it used to.
