You can't sideload apps that you don't know about.

The issue is that, using a Kindle Fire, it is impossible to see the Android Store's website. If Apple or Microsoft were to make websites impossible to view, it'd be rightly called out as censorship. Similarly, if Google were to make Amazon's online app listings impossible to view on stock Android installations, it would be censorship as well.
