You'd be incorrect. Amazon Music is not as valuable as people think, compounded by the fact that it helps foot the bill for Alexa. It's only right though, seeing as Music helped completely break Alexa internally. Repeatedly.

I only have Amazon Music because I’ve got some Alexa speakers, so not sure which way the causation is presented, but end result is I am Amazon’s MRR, however small that is.
…that said, the Amazon Music app doesn’t have an option to cast to Alexa and that’s beyond dumb.
