One thing I’m concerned about is recording equipment leaving identifiable information without us knowing about it.

No where does it state that customer data is being sent to Amazon. And neither that the technology is implemented in Amazon TVs.
Thanks for giving false info or inaccurate source.
At launch (in 2021) the FireTV was not on the list of Sidewalk-enabled products, but given the fact that Sidewalk was enabled without user consent on many existing devices (and has been found to re-enable itself after being disabled) combined with the fact that FireTV devices all have at least the necessary bluetooth radio (even if not the LoRA part, Sidewalk can use both/either) and thus could become sidewalk-enabled by a software update in the future… I would still say that Sidewalk is a reason (among many) to boycott FireTV along with the rest of Amazon’s products.
The takeaway that Amazon built their own mesh network so that their products in neighboring homes can exfiltrate data via eachother whenever any one of them can get online is not false.
I see. Although none of that was listed in the Wikipedia article
