Sounds like a lot of excuses for keeping a closed architecture than anything about security. There is absolutely nothing about a closed architecture that cannot be implemented in an open architecture, and I find the extremely vague "It's also unclear if Amazon vets the security standards of third-party devices before it lets them work with Alexa" to be speculative nonsense couched in carefully vetted legalese. Certainly Amazon's vetting process would be public and available, yet Apple is "unclear" on the subject? Just another Apple hit piece lapped up Apple fans.
