The ESP32 platform is pretty damn powerful and is something of a "kitchen sink" approach to embedded IoT. You won't find too much more capability without going to an SoC. Here's what I'd recommend - pick up a cheap

In doing so they put themselves in a precarious legal position. The author has given you all they legally are allowed to. If you want a copy of the firmware, you now have all of the information you need to obtain your own copy.
