The reality is, no one thinks about their Amazon smart speakers as ‘Echo’ devices.
We call them Alexas because that’s the name they respond to.

Echo has never been a great name.
If all the various Echo devices were simply speakers, this might make some sense.
Also, the combination of names isn’t much better.
“Echo Show” is not great.

Nothing in it says, “intelligence plus a display.”

We already know what Alexa means, and the combo instantly becomes “smarts you could see”.
As I read that, though, the message is not “it will never change.”
Instead, they said, “…that doesnt mean anything is going to change.”
