Honestly I'm disappointed Amazon hasn't married these two technologies either, but I think it must just be too expensive. I would think you could even prompt a midrange LLM to process the request and generate structured data for the limited list of supported prompts for a skill.

Too expensive and they're probably scared about how uncontrollable and unreliable LLMs are. Can't say I blame them really. Every time a company deploys an LLM you get a news story like "hurr durr I tricked it into saying poopy pants" or whatever.
