I agree with this point. It's basically impossible to monetize as a third party on Alexa. The closest thing happening is Spotify, Audible, and other audio content, but it would be hard to pinpoint how much of their sales/ads are attributable to Alexa and how much would have happened on another platform if Alexa was unavailable. It's rare to have someone trigger even a $3 transaction via Alexa.
