But you’ve probably heard of Anker, who owns Eufy. Eufy is just their smarthome brand. This is 100% Anker making these decisions.

Sure, but I don't trust my house to my battery packs.

Same, but a lot of people bought Eufy because they trusted Anker. Anler had a reputation of making reasonably priced cables & chargers that were still quality. It’s like people buying Hue products because it had the Philips name for instance. Anker decided to cash in all of their brand loyalty for some short term sales of its Eufy lineup.
