I think he's trying to point out that if someone were that concerned with trying to not be data mined by Amazon, they wouldn't have an Amazon account to be able to order a Kindle in the first place.
If you actually read the OP article, they specify that there aren't any other ebook readers available in their region, and that they could use it without connecting it to their Amazon account, or even to the internet at all.
