Lol I have almost the same experience. I tried Eero. Never mind that it had literally only one LAN port. You also had to do everything on a mobile app, without any options to modify stuff under the hood. It was also detecting phantom devices and dropping my actual devices from wifi. When I contacted support, I discovered during troubleshooting they had live visibility of my network. I switched to a basic, traditional Netgear router after that, and now I’m using a GL.Inet (openwrt) router as well.
It’s basically what the Eero line of routers does, you can’t configure it without the app, and there’s no web UI.
I’m still more confident in Eero than Motorola to not fuck it up, yet I returned that shit back and bought a GL.iNet instead.
My fiber install last year came with a “free” eero router, I sent it back.
My fiber install this year came with one, this time I refused to let them install it.

Even worse is that you can’t even split the 2.4GHz and 5GHz into different SSIDs.
Surely easier for the average person, but it sucks if you have some stubborn devices that tend to prefer 2.4GHz over 5GHz for no good reason.
