Bambu hasn't been the first to not turn on some features in the standard Marlin firmware. They won't be the last either. PID tuning isn't something you do a lot of anyway. Maybe once or twice if you change out extruder types or do a complete reset of firmware. They are probably calling some kind of macro to automatically do it for all the newbies out there. If you went and studied Bambu's firmware, you could find the section in the firmware to turn it on I suppose.

Oh, I'm more having a jab at Bambu attempting to raise their walled garden via their latest firmware.

Yeah it's the way of the world, I'm very glad my printer has a community supported Klipper firmware - and am glad to see some people working on this for the folks in the Bambu camp too.

Lots of people out there that don't want to be bothered but such details. And absolutely don't want to spend time learning the why you do something.

Oh but it's like anything in life, you can skirt the brim and get a taste of what's on the outside of the bowl, or you can run down the sides and take a splash with the real meat and potatoes.

Nothing wrong with not asking the how or the why, or the who and the what however I find that attitude has led us to being between three and twenty five foot tall, made of a hairy, oily goo wrapped in a tee shirt.
