There are few real-world analogies for the vertical that is Amazon. We don't have brick and mortar construction companies that also are a retailer (as far as I know). Amazon is like a company that builds houses, and will only allow Amazon appliances inside the house, even though other appliances generally work fine. Your buddy across the street has a house made by Google, and their house can have any appliance, which kinda irks you.

(And in ye olde days, there was a time when you could open the Sears, Roebuck catalog, and order, literally, a whole house and everything that needed to go inside it, and have it delivered to you.)
