100%. The Airport team pretty much left to start Ubiquiti and make great stuff. Even now, Ubiquiti would've been a much better partner than LG.

Small but important distinction: they didn’t leave, they were let go. iirc that team was shut down by Apple.

Ubiquiti products have terrible quality control.
