They literally have no differentiation here vs. Messenger Square Pay or Google Pay or Venmo. So much metoo in this thing.

  Can you ask a smart speaker to pay someone else by name using any of those services?

    It begs the question - exactly what kind of problem does paying with a smart speaker solve over just using your phone? Also, how much is that worth to you?

      The central question for Amazon is not “what problem does this solve?” but “does this feature or product delight customers” and “how does this generate more revenue for Amazon?” With this in mind, the feature accomplishes both: customer have demonstrated the desire to pay or their friends and family (by the popularity of Venmo and others) while the funds will then be available to purchase items on Amazon.
