Finally: the camera. I would plan to use this to monitor jobs remotely. I heard it's also inferior to the X1C. Is that true of the latest camera supplied with the P1P? Hard to keep track of all the P1P hardware revisions.
Does look to be a good, feature packed printer, but what I don't like is it's not open source and the repairability seems questionable. Having run multiple printers for years I know these things are machines and need maintenance, part replacements, service, etc, and I haven't read Bambu is the best in supporting that department.
The bambu store has pretty reasonable prices for replacement parts too.
The main area of concern for lack of open source, and thus 3rd party replacements would be the main control board and display/control panel, if Bambu goes out of business.
At the end of the day, you have to make the choice whether open source and thus more expensive is what you want, for an out of the box working experience, or paying less and getting a mostly closed-source but out of the box working and fast printer is what you want.
It is after all, only $599, which is extremely cheap for non-bed-slinger that works immediately.

What you/he are saying is that the ULTIMATE limiting factor is the flow/heat. That's kind of a duh. What I'm saying is even if you've found the perfect fast speed/cooling/flow ratio your part will still come out weak because there's hardly any diffusion happening because of how fast things are moving, so after the filament is extruded it's cooled before it had a chance to fully bind with the previous layer. Hence the filament is currently the limiting factor.
Obviously you can reduce cooling, but then it starts looking like a mess because the filament does not like to be swung around at those speeds while still not fully cured.

They aren't perfect, in other words. The thing that keeps me in the prusa camp is that the founders are former dji exec's. And I have owned dji drones. Oem Spare parts for them are pretty limited a year or two later. And their answer used to be the trade-up program that is now discount. And with the printers I wonder how long the hotends and beds will be available and once they aren't. With a non open source machine. Then what?
There are already 3rd party spares on aliexpress for the p1p/x1 and there isn't a reason to think that would stop if the company folded (although there isn't any indication that will happen.)
I get it I also bought into the prusa hype, and then I bought one, and then I had to fix it repeatedly because prusa either cut corners (hotend fan) or they made a design change to accomodate something stupid (screwing up the heatbreak for the mmu) and the whole time support was of zero help actually getting anything fixed.
I'm really curious what percentage of users goes for the AMS. Any ideas?

Buy a few for backup because when BL folds up shop you wont be wanting to build those cables yourself.
That's just a molex pico blade connnector on either end. Nothing specialty about it.
