What you said is true, but Samsung and Apple do have frictions, and I believe both of them do have contingency plans that hedge against the risk of a full out war between them. What amazes me is Netflix's seemingly "un-conditional trust" on Amazon, it seems putting them in a potentially very vulnerable position, even without considering Amazon Video being a potential competitor. Maybe they just don't have any other choice right now.
AWS knows that if they did anything to harm Netflix's business, it would reflect very poorly on them (and be morally and ethically wrong).
Also, while both offer streaming services, they don't really compete. Many people subscribe to both services.
