"Amazon does not charge any fees to join Amazon Sidewalk"

Not to the end customer anyway. To organizations and developers building on top of the APIs...

Completely against this idea though its a shame its not... "Get paid for hosting a network using the devices you purchase from us"*

Lastly, it is a cost albeit negligible to the end user who installs the device (power, bandwidth, etc).

*I know it wouldn't amount to anything but its a interesting way to think about it.
