£5bn is a huge wedge of money to invest with so much uncertainty about the model, pricing and the customer base.
Amazon haven't had to expend much energy broadcasting these games. Neither does it show a determination. It shows a unique opportunity where they could get rights of no value to anyone else that had some value to Amazon due to timing. This was by design of a league desperate to drum up interest.

I'm sure if the league puts something on a plate, at low cost, Amazon will of course be interested. However thats a dangerous game for the league to play risking the ire (and value of the rights) to their largest revenue streams Sky and BT.

You haven't answered why you think Amazon would have to spend £5 billion to secure the rights.
Multiple packages will be available why do you think Amazon would have to buy all of them?
