The one thing enders are good for is teaching you how to troubleshoot printer issues. My only printer right now is the ender 3 v2. Next one I get is likely going to be a voron derivative so I don’t have to source parts/build it from scratch.

I don’t use Bambu printers, but don’t they use a modified version of gcode and still refuse to let anyone see the documentation?

I really wish some large government would order that all hardware manufacturers publicly released any source code used to make the hardware run. I think there are some real arguments you could make for the benefit of the economy if that happened. A hardware manufacturer can still lean on selling the physical parts even if the software can be copied, and the software can be tailored to their hardware making it harder for it to apply to their competitors. I’d actually like to hear others’ opinions on that too.

I’ve done this before on smaller parts and it works. The result is very ugly-looking in my case though.
