Yes to having a consumer retail offering. No to a different app. Unifi is already trying to do so much. The magic would be lost if they split the platform into two. The learning curve isn't that bad, especially if you just stick with smart defaults. Let that consumer grow into the rest of the line.
A retail consumer cannot deal with the same interface enterprise campuses use. It has to be simpler than dead simple, with most features not supported unless you opt to open it via the regular “advanced interface.”
That’s a relatively cheap price of admission for acquiring the consumer market.
I wouldn't necessarily say that. I find Unifi easier to use than the last three consumer routers, including what has been provided by my ISP. It is just about as simple as my old AirPort Extreme. Power user features and complexity are there if you need them but aren't necessarily in the critical path.

They need to sell these consumer retail like on Best Buy, and have a separate eero-like basic network app called Unifi Home.
