I'm not an expert on this, but isn't AMC just another bundled pay channel on BT? I didn't think it was a 'premium' channel like Sky Movies.

This is what you are not understanding. AMC, is a premium US cable channel. It is in the same category as HBO, Showtime and Starz. These channels specialise in premium TV content, and, in the US, require extra payment for each of these channels over and above a standard pay TV subscription.
If adding AMC would cost the same to VM as adding one of the channels you mention (Home, Shed, CBS Reality, Quest, Home and Health, etc.) then you would have a very good point. But because AMC is a premium channel, it will cost VM a heck of a lot more than the channels that you mention.
But because at the moment it is mainly showing repeats, many of which are available elsewhere, it is not worth it's premium cost.
Your Amazon Prime and Netflix subscriptions are currently giving you way more current AMC shows than you'd get if VM added AMC.

- Turn Amazon Prime
- Halt and Catch Fire Amazon Prime
- Better Call Saul Netflix
Adding Now TV also gives people a fifth one, the Walking dead
