Also the shady practice of removing alternatives to the Fire TV Stick from the Amazon store leaves a pretty bad taste as well.

Just searched last night and easily found the Roku stick (whatever it's called).
Amazon isn't worried about you buying another stick, they are worried about you buying into a competitor's ecosystem.
Chromecast users are less like to use amazon video than prime stick customers
Apple TV users are more likely to use itunes for media than prime stick users.
Roku it at least agnostic about ecosystem, compared to apple tv and chromecast.
I was actually using Amazon Prime Video[1] more than Netflix until I got Apple TV. Where everything seems to exist except for Amazon.
[1] Largely due to the fact you can rent/buy newer movies. Now I just do that with iTunes. But I would've just stuck with Amazon Prime if they were on Apple TV.
