Update: MacRumors has been informed this was a technical issue and the app should be back up shortly.

Update 2: Amazon Prime Video has returned to the App Store.

Don't care. Would not use Amazon for anything. Its business practices are obscene, immoral and repugnant. Just my opinion of course...

Amazon wasn't paying Apple 30% of sales like Spotify has to
You can't signup directly through Amazon in the app so that has nothing to do with this.

Probably has to do with apple tv + coming out soon
So Apple is trying to have an antitrust investigation from the US and EU? Sure, that's probably it.
