    Maybe because of protected content where cant be ensured that you cant access it through linux?
    Dont know what exactly Prime is containing?

    @hypervtechnics that would be a cheap reason...I mean, if he was able to trick it through simple changes in the useragent...come on, can't believe they are genuinely trying to block

    @ElToastGrande yeah maybe. But I think the biggest reasons are compatibility reasons... or they have a contract with Microsoft & Apple :P

    @Artemix feature checking isn't perfect either.
    But it's better then just checking useragent.
    But you'd have to put checks in for a lot of stuff.

    Without reading your 2nd paragraph, I was shocked.
    AWS has their own Linux distribution. How can it work against Linux?!
    For prime stuff, it's simple. General consumers don't use Linux. It's not worth to invest
