In a similar vein, Amazon refused to publish an Alexa skill I wrote to control Kodi (basically a voice remote). They cited piracy as the only reason. When I'd press them on why they allowed one for Plex since they are both just video players, they would just refuse to acknowledge the question and deny me again.
It's their right to do so, but it's stupid and defies logic.

Should it be their right? They are becoming so prevalent that perhaps they should be regulated like infrastructure ...
I remember when computers were programmable :(.
