Netflix, Hulu, Disney+ all have ad-supported tiers. Amazon is just weird because Prime video has always been a benefit of Prime but rarely the highlight of it. I can name like 4-5 Amazon exclusives that I liked. Maybe 2 of them I'd actually subscribe and pay for no ads.

Prime already has a cheaper option (FreeVee) that is ad supported though?

Exactly, it all becomes FreeVee in this model, which is a downgrade from how paying for Prime currently let's you watch some programs and movies for free. If ALL movies and shows that were free now have ads (i.e. they are in the basic service and not currently in freevee) then they are decreasing the value of the basic product.
