It only captured games this time because nobody else deemed the packages worth meeting the reserve price.

If Amazon really wanted to it could blow Netflix content spend on TV shows out the water however they don't why is that ?
It's about business models, technical issues with streaming such as latency and broadband coverage.

The fact that Amazon did not think the time was right in the last round of Premiership bidding does not mean they will never make a serious bid. It may not be Amazon, of course. It might be Disney or one of the other big players out there.
