This is not a bug. From Android N, Chrome provides the WebView functionality, so that you get one package update, not two, saving you data. the WebView package will only be enabled if you disable Chrome (in which case we switch back to the old scheme so that you still continue to get security updates).

So how do I enable the web view. If it requires to downgrade the android version, how will I do it?

Comment 5 by tobiasjs@chromium.org, Jan 9 2017 

You don't need to. What you need to do is update Chrome (because they are combined into one package in N). Amazon is directing you to the wrong thing to update on the play store.
