Does bambu labs core customer demographic really give a shit about the openness of their printers though? It seems pretty obvious they're not targeting the 3D printer enthusiast but rather makers that just want a tool that works without any fuss.

If that was the case I wouldn't have 4GB of idle ram just sitting in my PC. There is no unloading to swap when 50% of available ram is unused.
I have 8GB in my laptop running mint, its used for browsing, office work, 3D print slicing, and occasionally I torrent a file from it...it is absolutely no issue whatsoever and it never even breaks 4GB use unless it's actively slicing a 3D model. 16GB minimum I can agree with for gaming, but for desktop use as mentioned above you can easily get by with less.
Ah OK fair enough, I've just seen so many from the US cite ridiculous cell phone plans
Cell phone data is fairly low priced in the EU compared to the US...I used to pay $17/month for 50GB data and 5G access, and I could use 10GB of that without extra charge in all EU countries. I've reduced my plan now to 10GB/month because i wasn't using more than that, and it costs $10/month
According to the manual, the only thing you get with the kit (other than access to the digital files) is a couple of cardboard tubes, some stickers, and a parachute — the launch pad, igniter, and even motors are all sold separately.
yeah WTF, this seems like a greedy bullshit cash grab at $40
people are being poorly trained by the change management
Yes this happens a lot, and IT-habits are notoriously difficult to change in a work-setting.
I was one of the users, these are my observations with my colleagues reactions, and sometimes also myself.
I'm not saying AI specifically is useful, just that people in general tend to resist change in their work methods regardless of what they are.
I also work with a lot of proprietary knowledge, chemical and infrastructure in my case, and AI still can be useful when used properly. We use a local model and have provided it with all our internal docs and specs, and limited answers to knowledge from these, so we can search thousands of documents much faster, and it links to the sources for it's answers.
Doesn't do my job for me, but it sure as shit makes it easier to have a proper internal search engine that can access information inside documents and not just the titles.
Having been part of multiple projects introducing new software tools (not AI) to departments before, people are usually just stubborn and don't want to change their ways, even if it enables a smoother work-flow with minimal training/practice. So yeah, basically people are so set in their ways,it is often hard to convince them something new will actually make their job easier.
I've found the easiest way to avoid this is to simply not have it in the house...and shop online with delivery to avoid impulse purchases while walking in the store. My food budget has never been so well managed since I stopped shopping physically at the grocery store.
