When I bought my Bambu they were simply the best out there in just a bout every way. other company's printers were unreliable and Prusa sat around on their laurels for years and even now have only partially caught up.
How were they the best about being open source / transparent? I never saw evidence of that.
They were the best at actually 3d printing. Which is what the device is for when you get down to it.
It's a choice of values and future thinking. I understand the average user choosing Bambu, but for a 3d printing figurehead knowledgable about the industry and influencing the decisions of others, I think this was a poor choice initially. I bought a prusa probably around the same time he bought the Bambu, knowing full well that the Bambu had better performance specs. It's not like I was getting blown out of the water with my 3d printing though. Every day I have less regrets about that choice.
