I started using tailscale a few days ago, and I absolutely love it.
However, one thing is still nagging me: technically, they can add devices to my network without telling me, right? Or is there something I'm missing?

Perhaps a terrible analogy, but to me the question reads like "can the bank just spend my savings?"
How might you expect a fresh node to join your existing Tailnet without Tailscale having a means to add a node?
But then again, I'm not sure there are many people who'd worry about that.
Why would you expect anything else? That’s like saying Wireguard or SSH servers should just accept any client. The purpose of mesh VPN controllers is to automate redundant key management, not to subvert the original security model.
