I assume it's because they want to mine the data they collect. Amazon can watch everyone who comes to your front door. They can easily learn things like how many people live in your home, if you are single, when you are dating, if you have children, how often you have food delivered, what types of clothing people in your area are wearing, what they talk about as they pass by etc. Tons of valuable data to collect if you can convince people to install a camera for you and hand over access to the feed.

> Amazon can watch everyone who comes to your front door. They can easily learn... No need to do difficult and processor-intensive video & audio analysis. They can get most of that from the products you're ordering from them. Remember when Target outed a young woman for being pregnant based on the things she was buying? That was 6 years ago.
