I’ve the Easee and have found it great so far. I went untethered because, as you say, you can lock it using the app anyway, thus turning it into tethered. I appreciate being willing to leave the cable in place (even locked) will depend on where people live. I’m lucky enough to live in a quiet rural village and it’s been just coiled on the box (locked in) since I got it. I’ll probably put the cable indoors when we go on hols etc.
