Ubiquiti equipment is the antithesis of local self hosting. You are required to sign in using their servers, and they require you to use a second factor email confirmation every time you want to access your local equipment. Since you can’t sign into your local equipment without an internet connection you can’t firewall the ubiquiti devices and they can report whatever “telemetry” data they feel like.
Last I’ve checked the UniFi network integration communicates with the devices locally with a local account.
