This might be more relevant if say Google did buy them and then Stadia was still going and the potential for limiting the game library onto that platform to boost appeal. Google might also take the King side and limit it to Android but that would be massively detriment to their revenues so unlikely.
However, now Google have ditched that, it's unlikely. Their revenue comes from Android, Apple's revenue in the industry comes from App Store. Amazon aren't even a thing really, they are essentially a small publisher with loads of money. If they purchased them, they would probably just expand and it would just be them joining the industry in a big way.
Unless, they used it as a competitor for Game Pass. "Amazon Prime now includes gaming."
If anything, Amazon buying might make the industry more competitive.
Hmm, pie.
