How Do We Lobby MyQ to provide a decent API?
Personally I went with OpenGarage https://opengarage.io/. I have been using OpenGarage for 3+ years now. It has been amazing.
- Ask HN: How do I make sure my mom's garage door is closed?
- Q: How does my 2-wire garage door remote know if my garage door currently up or down?
-
My first Arduino project sends me a text if my garage door is open at 9:30 PM each night.
If anyone is lazy, but wants the functionality and insists on open source….check out https://opengarage.io/ ($50) which offers similar functionality. I switched to a MYQ door opener which made the opengarage need obsolete, but I’ve been happy with MYQ - however it does require cloud access.

Meross > MyQ garage door opener
I switched to opengarage.io - after trying a few garage door automation devices that utilized door sensors.

Matter 1.1 release – Enhancements for developers and devices
I recently got some Matter-capable IoT lightbulbs to try, and I am not impressed. They seemed to have all the same problems I've experienced with previous IoT products (connectivity issues, state de-sync between device and "edge router", firmware updates take ~10 minutes per device).
Then there are problems specific to Apple's IoT stack - like how it's impossible to set an RGB capable light to a ~specific~ white color temperature. Instead you get a shade picker and you have to guess what the color temperature is.
The best IoT experience I've had is with OpenGarage[1] using regular old WiFi, but overall I'd still never rely on IoT products for anything critical.

Garage Door openers... can you use a wireless sensor instead of the cabled one?
I got a opengarage thing instead. No door sensor. Uses ultrasonic sensor to see if the door is open or closed. All one piece, hardwired to power. It's been rock solid.

My Preferred Smart Home Vendors
I think OP put a few restrictions they could relax a bit.
I use Meross devices with krahabb's wonderful LAN integration (https://github.com/krahabb/meross_lan). It requires a specific pairing process of the device, but not any firmware reflash.
Relaxing an extra bit, one can flash many devices with ESP Home (https://esphome.io/) - an excellent cistom firmware. Its only flaw is that the captive portal does not work well after an upgrade (something that is hanging in the bugs section and nobody cares)

MyQ App Down?
yes :)

[Troubleshooting] Smart plug letting current flows even when turned off
I am having an issue with a smart plug Meross MSS310 connected to Home Assistant through meross_lan. Basically a week or so ago the plug stopped cutting current when turned off. I hear the little click, the led turns off, Home Assistant report it as off, but if anything is plugged in (a lamp, a powerstrip, etc), it will turn on.
What are some alternatives?
WiFiManager - ESP8266 WiFi Connection manager with web captive portal
meross-homeassistant - Custom component that leverages the Meross IoT library to integrate with Homeassistant
ArduinoJson - 📟 JSON library for Arduino and embedded C++. Simple and efficient.
OctoPrint-Printer_poweroff - Octoprint plugin for automating printer power off in different scenarios. Works with Meross smart plugs.
homeassistant-attributes - Breaks out specified attribute from other entities to a sensor
ratgdo
hass-music-assistant - Turn your Home Assistant instance into a jukebox, hassle free streaming of your favorite media to Home Assistant media players.
SmartThings_MyQ - Integrate SmartThings with MyQ (Obsolete)
ble_monitor - BLE monitor for passive BLE sensors
blynk-library - Blynk library for IoT boards. Works with Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, Particle, ARM Mbed, etc.
scheduler-component - Custom component for HA that enables the creation of scheduler entities
