Hardware and software are different things.
It's perfectly reasonable to want the hardware of a Kindle, while not wanting to deal with the software shenanigans. I'm sure plenty of people on Lemmy have bought a laptop before then put a different OS onto it, for example.
Even putting that aside, did you not read the first paragraph? The author clearly states that alternatives like Boox and Kobo aren't available in their country.
You actually as if their position is unreasonable. It really isn't.
