It's just SEO. Just targeted specifically at AlexaBot instead of GoogleBot.

It’s worse than that because SEO excreta is still shown to the user, who at least has a chance to question it. With this style of assistant, the user doesn’t even see what the bot saw and that opens up new areas for abuse which is harder to detect.
