IMO using what we have intelligently is easier. Uniquiti hardware has the Edge line of routers and switches that are not cloud-controlled, not listen on any ports, and not establish any connections on your behalf.

The only routers vulnerable to that exploit were routers that were deliberately configured to be open to the internet, no router with the shipped default config was vulnerable. The vulnerability was patched out in a bugfix release months before the exploit happened, so additionally it was un-updated routers at risk.

That's something entirely different from what happened with Ubiquiti.

True, I bought it because of the 10gb ethernet and youtubers recommending it. I didn't realize it was also a router with a 45 dollar license key. https://mikrotik.com/software

many people switch not simply for the security/security-theatre, but because they no longer want to support a company with such poor security strategy after it is revealed that they have internal issues.

Less dopamine, though.

i've got one of those, and another mikrotik 10gb switch. whatever the 16 port one is.

they've been working nicely. i have good luck with fiber SFP+ modules, but it seems picky about 1G copper SFP modules, fwiw.
