The apparent nonsense of 3D-Printer manufacturers forking slicers and firmware makes more sense once you consider patents.
If Bambu used Main-#Orcaslicer with the brick layers mode, which is patented, I bet they would be sued.
Whether dubious patents will be considered valid or not, there’s always profit even in the least plausible patent dispute. See #SCOLinux
(not apologizing Bambu’s ‘security’ shenanigans, they are toxic to me.)
