Okay, no. Amazon is not doing the same thing. Amazon allows you to play Spotify or Pandora or Amazon Music. Google is not doing the same thing. Google allows Google Play Music, Spotify or Pandora. Both of them also have Bluetooth, which the HomePod does not. Amazon and Google are licensing others to participate in their ecosystem. Apple is not.
