Yes motion is amazing and has been around for a quarter of a century ! very lightweight and reliable.

As far as I know you can do object detection and tracking by gluing it with a yolo model using a few lines of python like this [0]. I saw a bunch of people doing this.

I really wish there was a more unixy tool available in package managers doing this.

Exactly. Motion can detect objects in the images, but not recognize the object type, but it's easy to integrate with a third party services like the one that you are linking with the scripts features [0]. I have personally integrated with S3 and self-hosted notification to create a small CCTV system, but there is no limit to the imagination of possible integrations.
