I think its clear that Fire is as much "a Google OS device" as the eink readers are Linux devices. Yes, it's in there, part of the plumbing. But it's not what defines them.

Strategically, going with Bing annoys Google, brings in Microsoft money, annoys google, differentiates Fire from the generics, annoys google...
And yes, *seriously* annoy Google.
(Cue in Bezos doing a Korean rap dance.)

(Then again, Google seriously annoys, Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft, among others. Payback can be fun.)
