As a previous employee at Amazon, I was extremely surprised at the quality of how they write software internally. When I heard about their new phone endeavor while still there, I was not expecting anything to come out of it quality wise, at least from the software side, and it seems they compromised on the hardware side as well (I never examined one up close). I think anyone that has worked at Amazon, and seen their internal processes would not be surprised at this either.
