Are you really saying that this Gigaset speaker has native Squeezebox functionality? Ot do you just mean it implements DLNA/UPnP which Philippe's plugin interfaces to LMS.

UPnP (from info that castalla posted on Squeezebox forum).

In which case it isn't really a first.  Google's smart speakers (and Chromecast dongles) have long been showing up in LMS systems that had Philippe's Chromecast bridge installed.

Possibly first Alexa one ... although maybe Sonos did that.

I meant a first for Alexa Echo devices - the Gigaset must have a separate Upnp feature built-in.  It''s very problematical to get Upnp on Alexa devices (if at all).
