I was wondering if Amazon, instead of wasting money and time on Fire phones/tablets, had poured a portion of that resource into making native Kindle apps a thing, maybe it could have a more compelling ecosystem by now.

It's unlikely that would have worked. 2 big ecosystems seems to be what the market will bear and choosing an Android base for the fire tablets makes a lot of sense. Very few people are going to bother writing apps for another ecosystem. Also, more apps means less control by Amazon which won't fly
