The same as Amazon's devices. Odd question.

To buy stuff from Amazon? You don't need open source firmware for that.
I know a few people with Echos and I don't think I've ever observed them being used to order stuff. Music, answering trivia questions, timers/appointments, sure. This is anecdata of course but still.

(I didn't count music as buying stuff since it's a flat rate streaming service.)
