Amazon finally admits why the Fire TV Stick 4K Select and Vega OS exist

When Amazon launched the Fire TV Stick 4K Select in October, it highlighted that one of its new features was that it runs Vega OS, a new Linux-based operating system that it claims is “responsive and highly efficient” and launches apps “remarkably fast.” However, what Amazon didn’t say about Vega OS or the 4K Select is why it really exists in the first place, especially since most people are happy with Fire OS. Now, it seems Amazon has come clean about what many people expected was really going on.
