Could they be any less original?
Their competitor to Steam is just… another word for Steam.

Amazon are also rumoured to be working on a Steam competitor, called “Vapor”

My guess it’s just an internal name to boost morale, inside joke sort of thing. Many software projects do that. Would be funny if that was the name though

Don’t worry, they havent made a game worth playing yet.

Amazon already tried, with a Twitch branded game launcher and included game licenses for that platform in Amazon Prime.

I'm not worried. They literally titled it "Vaporware". If that doesn't show how insanely out of touch they are then nothing will.
Dozens of companies have tried to make storefronts and launchers to claw back some market share but none have come close to feature parity with Steam.
