It's fairly straightforward, Amazon patches Android, not Linux.

To create their own distinct ecosystem, which is what we're discussing.

Pointing out both Android TV and Amazon Fire is Android OS based isn't particularly relevant to market mineshare. Linux too is used by both (and others), but it would be pretty strange to try to combine them all under a "Linux streaming stick" moniker.
