Considering how trivial they are to bypass, I don’t see how any customer would be complaining. It’s literally 5 labelled wires and it’s low voltage. And technically if you want just AC it’s only 2 wires.
Even easier solution is to not get a smart thermostat lol. I’ve always thought those things are stupid. Hundreds of dollars per unit just for adjusting the temperature, with a life cycle at the mercy of the company running the cloud it needs to use. Meanwhile you can get a device that does the same thing for five dollars that could well last you till your house falls down?
Honestly, it’s trivial to build and program your own. It’s a simple low voltage switch controlled by temperature. Any raspberry Pi or Arduino could do that.

My thoughts exactly. Rip it off the wall and start touching wires together, or better yet replace it with one that isn’t going to lock you out.
Don’t even have to. If you complete the circuit farther down the line, it will work the same.
