Thanks everyone for your feedback. Nothing has changed in the mobile apps' requirements. Since May 23, 2019, when the Apps were released, we have said that using the mobile apps require the hubs to be registered.
When launched, the mobile apps offered 3 key features, most of which require cloud to function properly: remote access to Dashboards, presence sensing and push notifications. If users are only interested in local access to dashboards, for example, we encourage them to connect to the hub directly, from a browser, via find.hubitat.com, or by bookmarking the hub's IP address.
