One alternative reason is they don't intend to use it themselves, but
wanted something they could sell to Patent Trolls.

If you read the patent, they are covering something very specific down
to specific camera settings. If they really wanted to sue people it
wouldn't stand up in court anyways. There are numerous examples of
prior art here.

Someone should try to put a patent on patents. If successful, they
would pretty much own the world.
I suspect that plain white background portraiture is going to make a
comeback in a big way because of this.

I expect, that as this is easily provable as prior art, that Amazon will
quietly fold, if a high enough profile studio, or individual, with even
moderately deep pockets, has a lawyer reply to their initial contact to
cease, and desist based on it. Amazon doesn't want a fight. They want
to dominate without a fight.
I've read some speculation that this might be Amazon trying to show how
absurd the current US Patent Law is; something in the light of recent
Apple/Samsung patent wars.
I'm thinking of Apple patenting rounded corners, finger gestures & such
and then suing everyone. Harks back to when they sued Microsoft over the
"look & feel" of a graphical user interface.
Amazon's patent may be a figurative "finger gesture" of a sort.
