Let's see I can spend thousands on advertising or I can announce something and the media will pick it up for free. Especially since as you said yourself that Amazon started selling Chromecast again.

So what is the difference? A grocery store does not carry their competitors food so why should Amazon be forced too?
Amazon is no different from any other retail company.

They did the same thing to Apple with similar results a few years back, but apparently didn't learn their lesson.
