No, it isn't unethical. If anything, it would be copyright infringement to ban users from altering the underlying software that was not completely created by Amazon. Amazon chose to use GPL Software to power it's devices. Many people worked very hard developing that software and gave the legal protections to everyone so that they could modify, redistribute, or alter it.
GPL != Free to take and obtain exclusive rights to.
