Seriously, It's 2023, Why Offer Cloud With Only Manual Firmware Upgrades?

I was just reading IPVM's Direct-To-Cloud Camera Rankings 2023 - Avigilon Alta, Eagle Eye, Hanwha, Meraki, Rhombus, Turing, Verkada, Vivotek, YourSix, and saw several cloud camera providers don't have / require users to update firmware manually.. Like C'mon, it's 2023! (Almost 2024) Isn't that one of the main benefits of the cloud? Get with the program.
