Isn't this very similar to how Apple uses your phone and laptop to locate airtags, even if you don't own any airtag. Same deal. They are using my battery life, my CPU time, my internet connection to provide services to their customers. Not surprised to see Amazon follow suit after Apple normalized the practice, kind of like removing the headphone jack and charger.
1. You already are giving Apple your CPU time, battery life, and internet bandwidth by using their software in the first place. If air tags need to download 100 GiB of data to function then maybe you should ask Apple to improve that.
2. Headphone jacks were never removed. They just replaced the legacy outdated 3.5mm jack with a USB C port instead. Both can handle the exact same analog audio, but one of them can handle much more.

No, why do you think so? I have bought my hardware from them to fulfil some purpose of mine. That doesn't give them the right to abuse my hardware for their profit.
