While I am usually the one making the case that Fires are indeed 'real Android tablet' despite not having Play stuff, I basically agree.
But I would not characterize the relationship as "The only reason people live with it..."
The Fire is aimed at Amazon-centric-content-consumer-type users, and the Amazon app store probably serves most of that audience just fine.
For those who have other devices and prefer the Play store, it's not a matter of having to live with it. We'd have to choose to install it if we want it, and we want it, 'cuz, hey, free apps.
