It's a nice way to look at it, but then it's hard to explain why they force-feed Amazon Fire TV Sticks as a poor man's alternative to Chromecasts and prevent Chromecasts from being sold on Amazon at the same time. Costumer focus much?

Not to mention how many consoles are sold by third party and are imports.

I’ve stopped buying expensive electronics on Amazon. It’s too much of a pain to deal with. I will buy cheap junk because at least I am paying for what I’m getting.

Also how they force-feed you Prime Video and make you pay extra for it (compared to Prime prices before they launched this) even though you already have other streaming services or generally not interested in it at all.
They are focused on their customers, not Google's.
I bet a huge chunk of their customers is Google users/customers as well.
