I don't imagine it will be like that forever. It's just a clever way to limit demand until they can ramp up manufacturing, or work out the bugs, or whatever their motivation is for keeping it in a limited release for now.

Actually you can already shop via Echo/Alexa today. It's effectively limited to reorders and music for now.
