I'm surprised Amazon has doubled down on the idea of screwing their customers out of a good Android experience. That's all this is: Amazon ignored what was good for users (access to the whole Android ecosystem), and instead focused on what was good for Amazon's immediate desire to extract ongoing revenue from their customers. Instead of making a better phone for consumers, they focused on making a better phone for Amazon. And, it turns out, "Makes Amazon richer", is on nobodies feature wish list for their next phone. Obviously, most folks probably don't mind Amazon making money...but, why would anyone buy a phone for which the only major differentiation is that it sends most of the long term app revenue to Amazon, and by doing so, limits the user to far fewer apps and less freedom to do with the phone what you want? I'm almost amused at the gall of Amazon thinking they had the marketing and product chops to pull off an Apple-scale consumer-fleecing like this.
