Oh dear, this looks like a land grab, and, importantly, a security concern for those in the USA.

On June 8, the merchant, Web host, and entertainment behemoth will automatically enroll the devices in Amazon Sidewalk. The new wireless mesh service will share a small slice of your Internet bandwidth with nearby neighbors who don’t have connectivity and help you to their bandwidth when you don’t have a connection.

Comcast/Xfinity does that now with their modems and most people do not know it. You can, however, shut it off.
