App can edit HomeKit. How did Apple miss this? – Onelink Home by First Alert Review

This app update from 10/2020 is BAD. It completely “broke” my devices in the sense that they no longer responded even in the OneLink App, never mind the Home app. I had to call FirstAlert because they needed additional setup in the OneLink App and the support rep had me delete the Home in the OneLink App. Low and behold it deleted my Home from the Apple Home app. I ran through some of my own troubleshooting and I confirmed that the OneLink App is capable of CREATING AND DELETING HOMES ON THE HOME APP. I not only lost all of my Home automations, but also had to reset all of my devices and link them back with the Home App - and what a security flaw. Such a huge hole you have to wonder if Apple is even looking at these apps before approval. If Apple is so concerned with privacy this should not have been missed. What are the other security flaws that exist that we do not know about? Are my locks secure? This calls that into question.
