I am about to buy several Philips Hue lights. Does this statement apply to all LED-based lights or just the cheap ones?

Philips LED lights, Hue or otherwise, are wonderful. Be aware though that they seem to be enshitifying the Hue ecosystem https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37667266

Hue bulbs should work with any ZigBee LightLink controller. Or if they don't, I'll be very upset about the times I flew out to the LightLink gatherings to make sure all our products worked together.
