The fact that Amazon's looking into placing the newest Fires in business environments suggests they're looking at hardware flexibility just as I am (Office Suite = dynamic content creation, not passive content reception), which again makes their decision to deviate even further from Android seem curious.

You are missing the point, I think. Amazon is not interested in selling the Fires as general purpose tablets --- they make little money on them. Now if the tablets cost an extra $100, then it would be worth the effort just for hardware sales.
