Well, for historical accuracy, Roku was first in regard to streaming devices you hooked up to your TV. Apple and the rest copied them. And it is pretty much obvious that Microsoft copied Apple (and yes, you can argue that Apple in turn copied PARC). But what makes Amazon copying things different is that they are a marketplace for other people's products and a maker of products themselves. That has an intrinsic conflict of interest.

The first AppleTV was released in 2007. The first Roku in 2008.

As far as Amazon copying others as a marketplace owner, ever heard of the Kirkland’s brand? Store brands have been around forever.
