They are becoming a "Smother" with their services, from pushing Prime to locking in authors for Kindle Publishing. They are becoming the defacto online retailer of everything. Let's hope they don't develop a rough Amazon brand of toilet paper, would be too bad Angel Soft.

I would guess that they are getting real support costs where people buy one of these and then call up and complain to Amazon support that they can't watch prime video on it. It's not even like Amazon is selling them itself. I'm sure there are other reasons as well.
