Alexa division is losing billions of dollars every year is because Bezos had this dream of creating ambient computing platform with Alexa (like in that ‘Her’ movie) where the hardware and software combination would become invisible for users like us and Alexa would able to do pretty much everything for us. Now they hired thousands of hw and software engineers to execute on that dream but so far the monetizable features are just not getting any traction from the users. Anecdotally I can give my frequent Alexa commands for Echo here: - how’s the weather today - what time is it now - turn on the TV - set an alarm for 6am - play 88.5 fm - what’s Arsenal score right now. Now it’s hard to understand how these kind of interactions can earn any money for Alexa.
