> Amazon was the rightful owner of my fastforward button

What do you mean by this? The back button is involved in system UI and apps should be limited in their ability to steal it, but fast forward is an action that makes no sense outside the context of an app

Can't skip ahead to sections of their content you want to view and instead are forced to watch it in sequence.

Either that or can't skip ads, ala legal dvd playback

I'm still not seeing the part where this is Roku's fault at all. It's Amazon's app responding to the controls the way Amazon wants it.

There's no platform with a standardized "fast forward" experience - Apple TV, Google TV, Fire Sticks, whatever are apps running on a device and those apps all implement their own navigation controls.
