The first three Oasis reviews that Google returns when I search for "kindle oasis review" (ignoring the Amazon link in the top ad slot) don't mention waterproofing at all. Two mainly positive reviews and one fairly negative, for the record.

Kindle Oasis review: Amazon's newest e-reader is nearly perfect | Macworld

Kindle Oasis review: The perfect e-reader for the 1 percent - Engadget

Amazon's $290 e-reader misfire: A hands-on review of the new Kindle Oasis - LA Times - Los Angeles Times

So it's clearly not a pervasive sentiment, right?

EDIT: I actually made it all the way to the fifth returned review before I saw the words "isn’t waterproof."
