Unfortunately anything open will cost extra, just because of the nature of it. Not to mention the colossal scale of how much product DJI ship, to cut costs somewhere
The reduction of monitoring is worth it. DJI calls home with your location and even provides tools for police to view the location of drones and drone operators in real time.
Literally all of the alternatives are open and much more capable for it. You can go buy a pixhawk and basically any frame and have something much more powerful for much less money, you just have to be willing to bolt two or three parts together.
Would be nice if there were some actual alternatives about the same price range and not using proprietary softwares…

I’m with you there. I opt into OSS and open hardware whenever possible
Every drone does that, since RemoteID got implemented.
Oh no, not the location data that has to be shared publicly for safety reasons anyways! God forbid!
