Well this is what you get for pulling ChromeCast from Amazon (and other bad behaviour). If Google was as a brazen as that and started using its search results to start an Amazon competitor it would find itself in front of the beady eyed antitrust folks in short order. This is probably the best they could come up with and stay within the law.

Amazon pulled Chromecast because Google blocked it from working on fire devices, afaik

Are you referring to when Google blocked YouTube from Amazon Fire devices? If that's what you mean, then the order of events are the opposite.

What does that even mean? It's like saying Apple blocked the Pixel 2 from working on the iPhone.
