True, but their main value proposition has been for a while that you can jailbreak them and stream pirates content on them, even for your less technical users. Honestly, it seems like Amazon is probably doing this for liability reasons rather than profit, as if profit were the motive, then they could increase the cost of the device due to “inflation”.
