Plus the commission from the undisclosed Amazon affiliate links in the post.

They're tagged for the post and year so must be worth it to go to that trouble rather then using generic tag for the whole blog.

I don't understand why this is a problem for some people.

It doesn't increase the price or impact your buyer experience in any way, so why do you care? If this blog post introduced you to a product you wanted to buy, why should you have a problem with the author getting a finders fee from the seller? Just seems mean-spirited.

On a more rhetorical side, should they be disclosed?

Isn't that assumed nowadays that every link to a marketplace is an affiliate link?
