It seems like the main feature is being able to access your home network to watch netflix, access LAN devices, etc.

How is this different compared to running a tailscale exit node in your home network?

Is the benefit of this that you have a hardware device that you can connect to instead of needing software like tailscale?

I have a hard time believing anyone would actually use this versus self-hosting headscale in a discarded ThinkCentre and running it from a closet.

I think so: it looks like "UniFi Teleport" is also based on Wireguard.

You can also do this with a travel router like one of GL.iNet's and Tailscale subnet routers.

How would Tailscale run in your home network without a hardware device to connect to?
