Why were the activity zones moved to a paid membership level when they were free before?

Why were the activity zones moved to a paid membership level when they were free before?

I used to have zones I can select from recording and those have been gone for a while, looks like it's part of the paid membership now. Comparing to Wyze, a $20 camera does alot more and performs better than my $200 Arlo, that's crazy!
I'm so annoyed with all the cars passing by who trigger the cameras, even after adjusting down to 30% sensitivity. Please bring back zones as a free feature. Otherwise my next system for my new house is going to Wyze all the way.
