It seems possible to read books on Kindle Unlimited without the author being paid, but I assume that the percentage of those that will do so is small enough not to matter.
For example, if you have a Kindle device that has Wi-Fi permanently turned off, you can still load books to it via USB. The Manage Your Content and Devices page at amazon.com allows download & transfer via USB of KU books. You can even return books from there when you are done with them. In that case I don't see how Amazon can know how much of the book was actually read.
