And the Apple Home? Does Apple has a record of terrible customer relationships? What's more likely here - That Amazon was worried about customer relationships

And the Apple Home? Does Apple has a record of terrible customer relationships? What's more likely here - That Amazon was worried about customer relationships specifically with the companies Apple & Google, or that Amazon wanted to block competition from it's store to force users to buy Amazon's streaming products? This is also a far cry from your original assertion that Google was blocking Amazon from developing on chromecast. You seem like you have an axe to grind here - why is that?

> This is also a far cry from your original assertion that Google was blocking Amazon from developing on chromecast. You seem like you have an axe to grind here - why is that? I bought a Chromecast. Two actually. I refuse to use Google Play Services. And guess what happened when Google made Chromecast require Google Play Services? I could throw 70€ away, because they had become useless. So I used open source reimplementations and made my own apps, but guess what? Google decided to obfuscate the protocol and change it every week to prevent that.
