Amazon may have a monopoly position in some markets though.
They have 80% of the ebook market (90% in uk) and 75% of the ereader market (apparently). In some countries much higher.
I suspect they are gaining monopoly positions in smart buttons (which currently don't matter) and audio assistants (echo).
It doesn't matter as I understand it if there are competing products when no one buys them, and here in the UK I've seen many echos, but not one Google home in the wild.
Given echo and kindle both cross sell amazon's online marketplace, that could get nasty.
