>we'll never get Prime Video on the Android tablet

You can now but it requires some user intervention.

Amazon's video app can't be installed via the Play store for whatever reason but, if you select a video in the main Amazon app, it asks you to sideload the video app by enabling non-store apps for a bit. Install it an everything works as expected.

Yep, it works great.

> Amazon's video app can't be installed via the Play store for whatever reason

Amazon has their own Android app store that they're pushing very aggressively. When you selected the video in the Amazon app, it actually brought you to the Amazon app store to download the video app. You have to enable side-loading because the Amazon app store isn't the Play store: it's not allowed to install stuff.
