Not to mention the credential waltz you'd have to do in a hypothetical app, in a home of more than 1 person/device, but served by 1 amazon fresh on a single amazon account. [1]
Or 1 person/device who travels between multiple places that are each potentially served by their own Amazon Fresh accounts. [2]
It makes much more sense to just strap one of these to the door of the refrigerator/pantry that it stocks.
[1] Entering/maintaining your amazon credentials on N devices, each having potentially-separate amazon credentials for other services. Good luck keeping that straight.
[2] Home, Work, Weekend Non-profit, Dorm, Family Cabin, etc. A college kid with divorced parents would be a nightmare usability scenario.
