I think their reasoning has to do with device lock-in. With a Nexus, the average person is free to shop around for content. But with a Fire, they're pretty much locked into Amazon. So if Amazon videos are very important to someone, then chances are they'll buy a Fire instead; thereby ensuring 100% lock-in.
But hey, it's just supposition on my part. Who knows why they're keeping the last part of their ecosystem away from other Android users.
