Amazon wants to provide total home automation solutions: Ring/Blink for security and doorbells and lighting, Alexa for automation, etc. At one point they even recommended Alexa as the glass break sensor for the Ring Alarm, although they eventually made a standalone device. "Alexa, vacuum the living room" is a nice feature and they can provide that by integrating with Roomba. Home mapping is not as valuable as that kind of integration, and I seriously doubt that home mapping is why Amazon is doing this.
