Why Amazon is storing my private WiFi passwords?

The story is short: I am de-registering my Kindle Paperwhite from Amazon and this is what see during the process:
I was genuinely astonished when I saw this question. So is there anybody who can enlighten me: why on earth does Amazon store in the cloud my private WiFi passwords? Ok, I understand that maybe (I said: maybe) there is some genuine reason to keep all the details about what I read, how quickly, how often I turn pages and at what time I switch on or off the backlight. But storing my WiFi passwords in the cloud? How much it does "enhance" my user experience? Should I ask another question: did I allow this? (Oh my bad, probably it is somewhere on page 543 in T&Cs.)
