Well you're not alone with this view. This is were Valetudo and dustbuilder should be mentioned. With these projects, you can replace the nasty privacy-invasive bits in the vendor's SW stack. There's a buying guide to find a matching rootable robot for your needs: https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/buying-supported-robots.html https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/buying-supported-robots... I got a pair of Dreame W10s in the last Black Friday deals and they're a great help. I wish my money wouldn't go towards the vendor crapware that takes extra efforts to get rid of. But i couldn't be happier with the result, having automated the vacuuming and mopping.
