Google has never shied away from antitrust investigations before, seems odd they would now. Personally, I like the conspiracy theory that Twitch was behind the Google rumor to get Amazon to pony up more cash.
Google walked away from the deal because it was deeply "concerned that about potential antitrust issues that could have come with the acquisition." Management apparently felt that buying Twitch might trigger an anti-trust investigation because they own YouTube - a competitor to Twitch (thanks to the integration of Google Plus streaming).
