Read the fine print. All legal doublespeak.
This is from one in my state's utilities linked in the post.
"By participating in the Company's energy efficiency and peak demand reduction programs, customers agree their electric utility will maintain ownership of all Capacity Rights from electric savings measures, which refers to the demand reduction associated with any energy efficiency or peak demand reduction measures for which incentives were provided by the Company"
During periods of high demand or as they say there "peak demand reduction programs" they will raise or lower your thermostat and you have no control over it. Enjoy.
No thanks.
If you don't have a c wire and don't want to run new wire, they sell an official Nest $25 wiring kit that you install in your air handler. I recommend getting one if you don't have a c wire.
Also, check the wires that are coming out of your wall behind the thermostat. I found in my old home the c wire was there but never connected to the board in the air handler. It all just depends on if you have an extra unused wire already run. In my new home I have only 4 wires and they are all in use, so when I replace the dumb thermostat with a Nest I will need the c wire kit.

You can buy this at Best Buy or Amazon or a number of places. Also be sure you have a c wire connection on your air handler board. You probably do but look for a low voltage screw terminal Marked "C"
There's a concept where a homeowner with their own energy source, eg solar, can get credited for either feeding electricity back into the grid, or at least for helping the power company meet their required capacity by reducing that home's draw from the grid.
The legalese you quoted says that any power saved because of a thermostat-related demand reduction program will not result in a credit to the homeowner.
That's it. The part that actually signs the user up for such a program, if that part exists, is not here.

There are some other features missing from the cheaper one too. It doesn't turn like the learning one does (touchscreen only). It's plastic whereas the learning one is metal. And it doesn't work in the Nest app (use google home app). Might be other things too but the lack of dial control upsets my wife enough to make me pay for the more expensive one even though I despise it's attempts at guessing how comfortable I want to be.

Technically no, but there have been a lot of reports of people having issues without one. If you don't hook a c wire then it attempts to suck power off of one of the other wires. This has led to rapid cycling (think on/off every few second) of systems that can lead to damage, never mind how annoying and useless that would be.

The nest learning thermostat has an actual dial for turning the temperature up and down. The nest thermostat has a touch sensor on the side and it's not quite as nice, accurate or as intuitive. I prefer satisfying click click click of the nest learning thermostat as I turn the dial.
I also could never get the nest thermostat to connect with any of the nest sensors that I use for the different rooms in the house for changing the temperature based on rooms. (Seems the nest thermostat is not compatible with remote sensors according to Google)
The nest thermostat also doesn't use the nest application only Google Home, whereas the nest learning thermostat uses both/either. There's some features on the nest application such as using widgets on your home screen that I really enjoy such as multi-room temperature control and application temperature shortcut on your phones home screen.
The build quality of the nest learning thermostat feels far superior and less plasticky than the nest thermostat.
