Everyone talking about Brother but does the point still stands for the newer models?
No, it doesn't. Not even the old ones, because Brother is rolling out malicious firmware updates even to older models:

If you have one of the remaining good Brother printers, make sure firmware updates are disabled.
Upvote for.disabling firmware. It's a sad state when the average printer consumer needs to know how to disable firmware updates and even needs sysadmin skills to know how to block a host from the internet.
