Amazon won’t care about hardware; I doubt they make any money on it, really it’s a means to an end, that end being subscription services.
I would think Amazon would actually like the idea of taking subscribers away from Apple on their own hardware so there is an incentive for them to make the app as good as possible.
Apple has a history of questionable decisions around widely accepted standards!
I agree about Apple making some questionable decisions. If it wasn’t about having proper “frame rate matching“ across all major streaming apps, I think I would not own an Apple TV.
And of course Amazon doesn’t care about selling hardware. They want you to use a FireTV device to be able to force you to watch more and more ads.
