I think the corporate dynamics are probably the bigger hinderance to something like that happening (IMO). Prime likely doesn't want to give any viewership away for its flagship show (while the show is still running especially) in the US to a competitor, where Prime is readily available to a large population yet still has more market share to seek out. Especially since Prime's overall strategy is to drive people to their larger product, which goes far beyond Prime Video. I.e. the exclusivity is part of the selling point.
Perhaps farther down the road that kind of licensing agreement could be more palatable if it's mutually beneficial to Prime and whoever owns the network that would syndicate, but I think internationally is where Prime can get some low-hanging fruit type of cash in the near-term while expanding the show's reach to countries where Prime isn't as ubiquitous.
Not to say I agree/disagree with any of this, it's more so that this is how I think these things are approached by executives.
