>I'm a Prime subscriber but can't watch Prime videos (TV and movies) on my regular Android device FYI, Amazon finally released their app on the US Play Store a couple of months ago. Not that this excuses all their other crappy behavior, and the years it took for them to finally do the right thing.

But can I cast it on my TV? I don't want to watch a movie on my phone, I want it on my TV...

  Nope. If you want something plug-and-play your best bet right now is a Roku. Around these parts I suspect Media Center PCs are popular too but you're limited by the browser (or what native apps are available). This spat is dumb.

  I believe Google started this specific fight by not allowing devices on Amazon's fork of Android to have support for controlling a Chromecast. Even if they used Google's fork, they would be required to include various competing Google apps.

However, Prime Video is a paid service that has never been publicly accessible so its users know what they are getting into. It seems more inflammatory to me for Google to block access to a YouTube app, particularly one that Amazon apparently created for their own devices. The two don't seem equivalent. That being said, Amazon (I believe) started this duel with stopping sales of various Google devices on their website.
