This is the emails between the YouTuber YGK3D and Anycubic, it seems like they won't send 3D printers to reviewers who mention their GPL3 license violations.

tl;dr Anycubic uses open-source software for their firmware, but doesn't make it public as per license agreement, and they don't seem to be friendly to anyone who calls this out.

I've come to the conclusion that it's a choice between what problems I want to deal with that are specific to the particular brand.

Some may or may not even be real issues I'll ever encounter. It's impossible to tell because nobody talks straight.
