I think this is exactly the problem, yes.

I can imagine why someone cares if someone else pretend being that someone....

No, the trick works the other way around; they pretend they want to talk to someone, but then talk to someone else. They never pretend to be someone else.

They're still dragging an unrelated and unconsenting party into the mix.

Right. Even so, don't you see problem in that too? Pretending doing one but in fact doing other?

Just imagine using that for a non noble cause....

I actually can't :) I mean, I can see why one would oppose it because of how it affects Amazon, but I can't see how it could be used for a non-noble cause.

Collateral damage...
