This was a computing paper trying to prod for security holes, not a political statement. It's not relevant the device itself might be problematic, only that it's security is sound.

The security concerns about such devices are primarily regarding its communication with Amazon and Amazon's potential use of the device for surveillance and behavior tracking. That wasn't investigated in the paper.
