How do you know you really disabled it? What if it does the same as Google that was recording location data and then uploaded them right after you established a WiFi connection? What if Amazon devices would do that a few times a day without you noticing, and the "disable Sidewalk" button would just mean "do it less frequently"?

I don't. But all of those questions tart out with "what if" and presuppose deception on Amazon's part.

Amazon's business model isn't "sell your info" - its "sell you stuff."

The intentional deception would get them in much deeper trouble to the point that your "what ifs" would be something a company lawyer would stop rather quickly.
