It's not uncommon to find Android u-boot firmware that hardcodes the same MAC for all devices, so LE normally (re)creates a new MAC from the CPU serial which is guaranteed to be unique.
Legacy v9.2 (LTS) builds for Amlogic S805/S8X2, S905/S912 and all WeTek boxes

Got it, I’ll always keep that in mind now. It’s the right approach and overall it increases reliability. It’s just that sometimes it can be a bit surprising. That’s the fine line where you have to decide: “fix someone else’s mistakes or let the user fix them on their own — after all, they chose the device themselves.” Either way, everything in LE is very logical.)
