That's basically the warning ASUS gives you along with their ultimatum to take your personal data or not be able to fully use the router you bought. Now, well after I've paid over $300 for their product- they insist on taking what's mine.

I would not purchase one of these routers.
It's only applicable to the OPTIONAL features that come with the router.
For instance, nearly all Asus routers come bundled with TrendMicro filtering for security and parental controls. These rely on lists that get retrieved from TrendMicro's servers. There's also some telemetry built in — likely so TrendMicro can gauge how many Asus customers are using the service.
You have to go out of your way to deliberately turn these features on. But before doing so, it makes you accept additional terms of agreement.
With that said, anyone who owns an Asus router and didn't have AsusWrt/Merlin ready to load as soon as it came out of the box should automatically be held with skepticism.
WiFi 7 makes up the difference in dwellings where 6Ghz can't penetrate as well.
I can get the bandwidth I would with 6Ghz at 30FT all the way in my backyard with WiFi 7 on 5Ghz.

Savings: $100+. For example a Netgear Nighthawk R7000 can be obtained for about $30 (sometimes less than that...). These 3rd party firmware offerings breathe new life into old hardware, which often still works perfectly fine, but are often relegated to the recycle bin as the manufacturer's firmware support ended years ago.
It's a trivial process to flash 3rd party firmware on most routers, and a bit of fun as well! And if you have a spare router in your closet, maybe it's compatible with one of the above 3rd party firmware offerings? It's a great way to add a cheap wireless access point to your network as well.
