Many comments refer to this as "Amazon promoting its own products over competitors" but that's not the right way to look at this. They aren't promoting their own products, they're promoting exclusively the Ring/Blink/Echo family.
In the past I've bought Amazon house brand clothing, batteries, sheets. They aren't promoting similar products that I'm likely to buy. Instead more than half the storefront is devoted to Echo products which I've never bought, and never will.
This isn't a case of "here's something we think you'll like," it's "here's something we want you to have."
