They banned products that didn’t support Amazon Video. You could always buy Roku boxes. Would Apple sell third party products in their store that only supported Android or Windows? Can you buy an Alexa powered device at an Apple Store? Does Microsoft sell PS4 or Nintendo games at their store?

Straw man argument. Apple doesn’t have a “general” marketplace that lets you sell almost anything under the sun. Neither is being a marketplace central to their business.
