A 20 year old something or other that doesn't interact with Home Assistant is your best bet for a free way to gain more freedom and trust. Bonus: you'll save tens of thousands on the initial purchase. You're basically being paid to have more freedom and trust

Except they have higher maintenance, tax and running costs in addition to lacking feature

I'm not sure how much that costs where you're from, but that might be offset by not having to pay for comprehensive insurance - again, if that's an option where you're from.

I domt think there are any insurance requirements where I am from
