But vendors know that most people want it easy so the push towards
subscription services and products which phone home isn't going to change.

Most people don't know or care what their products are sending to the
vendor.

I like to see what is connecting to what with https://www.pfsense.org/
But I might be the only person in 100 mile radius doing so.

I can also remote desktop from anywhere of my choice, with the rest of the
world unable to connect.

Pretty much all of my online services are either restricted to specific IPs
(cameras, remote desktop and similar).
Or they have one or more countries and other problem IPs blocked. (web sites
and email services).

None of that is possible when the vendor is in control because users will
want their camera pictures available anywhere.
