Crazy thought- could Microsoft allow apps from Amazon?

Here's a thought- Amazon just sold off all their phone inventory and for now it looks like they are out of the phone business. Microsoft can run Android apps with Windows 10 mobile (as we have seen with Project Astoria). Could it be possible that Microsoft could allow apps from an outside store like Amazon? That could help with some of the app issues WP has.

Considering that Amazon's kindle fire devices are based on Android, it shouldn't be a massive issue. My daughter has a kindle fire and it's fairly easy to flash android straight to it. Amazon just tarted it up for their own needs, ie no play store (just their own), but their store carries a lot of stock a android apps, just tweaked for them

The Amazon app store isn't just for their Kindle products. I've downloaded their apps on my Galaxy S5 (also have Lumia 735 btw- that's why I hang out here) and my daughter's Nabi Android tablet.
