I find it hard to believe that nobody ever thought about this and the consequences when making the wake word

You can change the wake word to a couple options. I suppose they assumed that people who knew Alexa's would change the wake word. But then they moved from branding them "Echo" devices to "Alexa" devices. I believe they had several 'A' names, "Computer" and "Echo" as an option.

They did, and that one dude really didn't like a person named Alexa
