SIM card is definitely designed to provide data connection to whatever device it is put in, so no hacking there or at least I wouldn't call every data usage outside presumed TOS to be hacking.
Many Kindle owners are not interested in the Kindle store whatsoever and the value from the Kindle device for them is the 3G connection itself. These attempts of tethering are expected, as well as Amazon's attempts to curb this and disconnect those SIM cards. Honest users should not care about it any more than the fact that someone owns Kindle 3G and not using it to buy books from Amazon.
