Before you say anything about this feature (which is apparently called HomeCare, https://www.tp-link.com/homecare/), you should probably know that Asus also has a AiProtection feature powered by Trend Micro (https://www.asus.com/content/aiprotection/) and D-Link having McAfee Secure Home Platform built-in (https://www.dlink.com/en/latest-news/d-link-introduces-new-e...). Definitely not vindicating TP-Link here (especially the alleged continuous querying despite the feature being off), just noting that this is not exclusive to TP-Link.
