Trying to blend inclusive and paid content in one interface isn’t inevitable, or necessary, and it certainly isn’t an optimal customer experience.

Prime and Apple are trying to run video rental libraries as well as streaming TV channels. It is a deliberate strategic decision to blend the interface so both services exist within each other, and users looking for content they have paid to access are automatically upsold content they haven’t.
You can look at it that way if you like. Or you could look at it another way - Amazon can provide that content you are looking for whether or not they have the rights to it. Personally, I find that useful.

Netflix show only their own stuff and the additional content they have the rights to. So if they don't have what you are looking for, it's tough.

You pays your money and you takes your choice, as they say.

Amazon is Prime and GooglePlay all in one.
