Factory reset is bricking the device? Did I read that correct?

Welcome to the future where you will rent everything and be happy about it!

It doesn't brick it, it purges the content, and you won't be able to restore it through Amazon. You'll have to use your local book manager and archive (you have those of course).

Calibre is better than Amazon for ebook access anyway.

I have a Gen 1 Paperwhite and didn't receive this notice.

Aren’t most of these already partly deprecated 5 years ago when 3G wireless shut down (in the us).

I replaced my kindle back then
