Google was making sure Android wasn't getting taken over by Amazon, I think it's more about business.
Amazon also didn't open-source anything of their changes, something Google did.
Their compatibility was a requirement for getting apps in their Amazon app store ( business decision)
Where is Google killing standards? If it is what I think you mean, they are changing the whole Android system slowly to adjust app/system updates. Balancing between open source and proprietary source is difficult and it's probably a business decision to close it more. If Amazon was successfull in taking over Android, they would have lost a lot.
