Chris is your son. You should start paying attention to him. He's 29.

Too late, he left home.

Can I introduce you to my friend zigbee2mqtt?
-
We have one of those TV backlights that syncs to the video. Don’t think I can open source that.

that is probably someone who is connecting / pairing your Zigbee bulbs to their network/mesh.
it has nothing to do with the cloud service.
if you are not using Zigbee yourself, they auto join open Zigbee networks after reset or when they are not connected to a Zigbee network, so if the other person is adding a new device he or she owns, the bulbs will also join his network in that process.
unsure if you can switch Zigbee off in the app or not as I have never used the app, so you would have to figure out how to do that yourself or make them join a Zigbee network you own.
hope this helps and hope you get it sorted.
(edit, added line about cloud service)

I’m not intimately familiar with zigbee, but I don’t think that’s what happened. I only have one hue device (TV backlight) and it’s connected to/controlled by the Hue hub.
My home in my Hue account now has zero devices in it.
-
my hue devices support Bluetooth and Zigbee devices to allow for management through an app or a hue hub.
even if you do not use it, it will be available and active, and it explains your issue. I have had my neighbors lightbulbs added to my Zigbee network before I kicked them out, and I will imagine his cloud service saying about the same as you experienced.
but, I will not try to argue this any further, I just offered a probable reason, as that was what you asked for.
good luck in your investigation 🙂
