I am stating that the mic power is literally disconnected in mute mode. The indicator LED physically cannot light up unless the power is cut. This is all implemented directly in hardware. This has been torn down by hardware enthusiasts and verified for many, if not all, Echo devices. I’ve also personally reviewed the schematics of multiple Echo devices.
A hardware circuit like that cannot be modified by any software, because there is no software involved in it.
No software update could bypass such a hardware feature, which is exactly why it was designed thusly.

Huh? It was built that way, and it does it. It’s a hardware feature.

Your reading comprehension is terrible.
I am not just talking about the pushbutton.
