Looks like if you don't have currently enabled Amazon Sidewalk devices, you won't have the option in your Alexa setting to turn it off(?)
So later on additional device become enabled, you need to turn off Amazon Sidewalk at that time??? Meaning if Amazon suddenly enable older gen Echo (or other device currently not in the list) to act as sidewalk, then at later time, the option to turn it off will be available and someone need to remind you to turn off sidewalk???
Or in the future you buy newer echo devices, then need to remind yourself to turn off sidewalk at that time....

This is literally how the worst of human nature comes about. You can't even bring yourself to spare a square. Tragedy of the commons starts with this mentality and attitude. Little things make big things.

You have multiple Airtags, eh? Your mother will forever be regretful for conceiving such a fool https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/1...uests.html
Where do you live? Can I use 10% of your lawn for a picnic ?
Now the name "echo" is starting to make sense...

So during initial setup, you will either press Enable or Disable.
Only devices that have been setup already before 6/8(?) or before Sidewalk was ready will have default enable(?)
Anyone know for sure when Amazon start asking about enable/disable Amazon Sidewalk during initial setup?

Every criticism I've seen is based on FUD that can be easily dispelled by looking at the white paper.
