Last time [1] we speculated, some saying it's a straight tit for tat [2], others, like me [3], saying it can be because Amazon half-assed the implementation after getting no help from Google.
At least this time, we know the real reason.

- AmIFirstToThink 9y agoWhen was Amazon Prime Video available on non-Amazon Android devices? Why did Amazon pulled chromecast from the Amazon stores? Casting is an open API with many device and app manufactures supporting it. Same goes for YouTube. I don't buy the argument that Amazon couldn't make YouTube app work on their devices. Amazon sells things from other vendors for most of the things that they sell under Amazon brand. They stopping sell of Chromecast was clearly anti-competitive practice. This was a miscalculation on Amazon's part. Or they both are playing smoke and mirrors game for the regulators to crack down on, enforce competition, claim victory, meanwhile forgetting about the real important stuff that these companies get away with.
