I think people like having an option for remote over the network communication. The cloud is not technically required for that. Bambu made it required for no good reason.

Doesn’t it have a lan mode?

		Yes, and aside from being able to send and monitor your prints from their mobile app (and there are third party implementation of a similar app), you really don't lose much by using LAN Mode, especially if you pair it with Tailscale.
