I can't help thinking that there is more to this than meets the eye, and Amazon issued the compatibility story as a cover.

It wouldn't surprise me if there was intransigence on various aspects from all three companies; Google, Apple and Amazon.

I keep coming across this kind of comment and figures of 30%

it was to “protest” the fact that Apple and Google want a cut of all in-app purchases. Amazon doesn’t want to pay Google every time we buy (or rent?) a movie in the Prime app. If Google won’t let them sell things without taking a cut, they won’t sell Google’s “competing” product.
Do Amazon do the same?
