I still believe that device manufacturers should be forced to reveal any keys / similar to load 3rd party firmware onto devices like this, if/when the devices go out of support or deviate in pricing from when sold (viz: Ring Doorbells adding subscriptions).

Sure, the vendor lock does allow them to sell the device at a lower cost, but you pay for it later.
