What's frustrating is that Prusa isn't too far removed from how Bambu works today. Prusa-Link (the onboard firmware) allows you to do very basic job control but has essentially zero machine control and very little telemetry. All the major functionality is behind their PrusaConnect cloud service, which they've now added a paid tier to, and which they've been promising for years to open source in order to allow print farms to run offline.
I love Prusa printers and all my machines are Prusa, but they really do need to get their software situation sorted because in it's current form, it's somewhat hard to distinguish from the operational reality of Bambu - if I want to use all the features on my XL, I need to send my files to Czechia first.
I don't want to sound like a Prusa shill or anything, but if they see Chinese state-sponsored competition as an existential threat (and I see no reason to doubt either claim), then I imagine that, from Prusa's perspective, it's a losing proposition either way ("damned if you do, damned if you don't"): anything they develop in the open directly strengthens their competitor and doesn't elevate the playing field for the benefit of all (unpunished licenses violations) ; anything they keep to themselves turns Prusa further and further away from their ideological stance, more akin to their enemy and less relevant.
