Maybe they just don't want to be at a disadvantage compared to
manufacturers that Google favors-manufacturers who, unlike Amazon, don't "align to their standard" by including stuff like the Google App Store.

Lead device concept: Give early access to the software to partners who build and distribute devices to our specification (ie, Motorola and Verizon). They get a non-contractual time to market advantage and in return they align to our standard.
