I bet Amazon simply removes the in app purchasing link from their kindle app and customers will have to know to go to the web to buy books.

Lee, people wouldn't be half so offended if the situation you're describing were the case. It's not.
Amazon et al are not asking Apple to be the middle man or allow them to use their infrastructure.
Apple is the one demanding Amazon et al allow customers to use the Apple store as the road.
Apple won't allow them to remove the links to their stores so they don't have to use Apple's store.
