Why would they do that in immediate future?

I highly doubt they would, however as soon as their store gains traction, it makes very little sense for Amazon to support a direct competitor on their own branded devices.

I'm not saying its a good or bad thing; it's just how these vendors operate. You don't have itunes on android devices, and you don't have the google play app available on i-devices. You can still use the Play web app on any device, of course.

Technically, they don't support it. People have just figured out how to side-load it and Amazon hasn't done anything to block it.

Exactly. So perhaps Amazon might begin to block it in the future. I don't really see that happening soon, however. Amazon hasn't built up enough critical mass to ditch the larger Android ecosystem.
