Amazon has been doing that for years. The earliest example, I can remember is when they refused to display thumbnails for books unless the thumbnails are downloaded from Amazon even though the files have perfectly good thumbnails in their metadata, this was back in 2010-2011 IIRC

Amazon has been gradually trying to make side-loading less and less pleasant on their platforms for a very long time.
