This is different and safer. This only shares with other Sidewalk devices... your neighbors won't be browsing the web on your Wifi, only Ring and Alexa devices will use it if they can't use the owner's.

It has just created a back door into your network, secured only by the ability of Amazon devices to recognize that traffic comes from another Amazon device.

And you trust Amazon with that capability?

Do you also trust that Amazon won't, upon request, allow various government agencies use of this back door into your private home network? Do you trust that all Amazon employees and contractors will be trustworthy?

Do you trust Amazon's Chinese equipment suppliers?

They're the same as every chip in our home already, why trust them more?
