If the device has not easily removable battery, it starts to be impossible to tell when it collects the data and shares it. Many devices are useful in the local network only, but still they want all-time internet access without real need.
Using direct 5G links make it also harder to filter traffic. I don't know, I just don't like the idea that all information must be collected by any means.

no amazon-made device is local only.

I agree with your sentiment, but most devices don't really have access to much data of concern. I'd be more worried 5g bullshit is used in screens that can send ads over a smart bulb or something.
