I think this is a terrible choice and wish they would explain why the decision was made.

Was it something that amazon imposed(ostensibly)? If so, please share.

It costs them to support it. How many Firefox users on Amazon fire TVs do you think there were?

I would guess it just looks like a bad return on time invested.

https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/firefox-tv/issues enough to file this many issues, but probably not enough to fix them?
There are always enough technical users with a github account to file issues. They represent a tiny tiny tiny fraction of product users though :-)
Maybe it was just too small a market share to warrant supporting? That was my first guess.
Yes if they were transparent about why I think people would be understanding and less critical of the decision. As it stands, the announcement says nothing like that.
