maybe

"Samsung" has a deal with google, so Samsung is afraid of pissing google off by allowing a competing platform to put their "app" on the TV.

sorry amazon, no Prime Video app (bundled/included) with Samsung TVs.

>Amazon says over half a dozen hardware vendors have indicated that they cannot enter into a TV manufacturing relationship with the e-commerce group over fear of retaliation from Google, escalating tension with the search giant with whom it competes on several businesses.

Wait is this about them being mad they can't preload prime video? Can it still be downloaded and used?
