Accessing Google Services is very different from accessing a Google server. Services is a bunch of code that runs in the device, supporting the Play Store, Books, etc and handling licensing and payment. Of course Amazon does not provide that code. Accessing a server is done using networking and does not involve Services. If would be very difficult for Amazon to block "bad" Google servers but still allow "good" servers like the ones providing gmail etc.
And as I said, it works fine on my stock Fire, connecting to the Google Drive server without any difficulty at all.
