Almost no one uses Ogg, not a very glaring omission in my opinion. Amazon sells MP3s. Apple sells AACs. No one with any market share sells Ogg files.

This doesn't apply here but it is interesting: there is one major player making heavy use of ogg, and that is spotify. All their streaming is done in ogg.
AFAIK all games sound and music have been in ogg format for ages.
And none of that would be in Amazon Music... Again, no one with any serious market share sells music in Ogg.
The amount of music sold in file format is totally dwarved by the amount sold on CDs. For a while I used to rip to ogg, I'm probably not the only one.
