It is probably not Amazon's call - or at least not entirely. If the publisher's (and the authors) don't buy in on the distribution plan then Amazon's won't have any books to sell. If Amazon is going to extend a reader across more platforms they're going to have to get permission from the publishers to do so.
I suspect Amazon would be willing to extend to other platforms if they could get permission from enough publishers to make it worth their time.
