What struck me between the paper printer I have (a HP monstrosity) and my 3D printer, is how easy the 3D printer is to use.
Using the HP printer requires layers of software, accounts, offers for subscriptions, seemingly totally redundant menus, apps, a very clunky interface and so much more.
For the 3D printer I just have to send a file to it. Seemingly Bambu pushes for something closer to the HP experience.

Both my Brother laser and label printer have worked first time, every time with Linux, Windows and iOS AirPrint.
Are the user-hostile features specific to the Windows drivers?
