Yeah, there is probably Nash Equilibrium in the whole multi-market per platform world, especially that it isn't zero-sum game yet. Being open and interoperable would benefit each player in the market game in the ways that were hard to predict. The market for mobile apps and smartphones is growing year on year, so making Android platform more prevalent and attractive to both user and developer will benefit all Android markets in the end, as the platform would increase its share amongst other platforms.
However it takes lots of effort to do it this way, against all what capitalism dictates. I hope too that Amazon thinks how to act on the initial negative feedback. TechCrunch reported today that one could buy an app by mistake, when having one-click payments enabled on their account and there is no way for refunds.
