Comment on Amazon won’t release Fire Sticks that support sideloading anymore

Doesn’t that kind of release the point of buying a Fire Stick? Pretty sure most people bought that thing as an affordable Android TV box.

There’s some inherent value of having competing companies trying make their Smart Stick an option on any TV. Amazon is more likely to sue, I don’t know, Samsung if their TVs forced you to log into a Samsung account before using the Amazon stick. The average consumer sure won’t be able to sue.
(I don’t know how restrictive smart TVs are, though, and at this point I’m afraid to find out.)

That’s never going to happen
