FAQ: "Can the UniFi 5G Max Outdoor work as a standalone device?" -> No. The UniFi 5G Max Outdoor must be adopted by a UniFi Cloud Gateway or UniFi Gateway and cannot function independently as a router or modem.

They literally list the standalone version further down the page:
* Dream Router 5G Max: The Fully Integrated UniFi Experience *
but that one isn't outdoor rated.
Why do you need the entire integrated setup to be outdoor-rated? That just adds tons of cost. If the antennas and modem need to be outside for signal strength reasons, so be it, but as much of your networking gear as possible should be indoors.

You can just download the software to configure/manage it. It’s not the best situation but you don’t have to buy anything.
The DreamRouter 5G Max is the stand alone device.
Yeah, exactly how I feel! This is disappointing. I remember, and miss the days when UniFi wasn't as user hostile as they have become.
