Amazon returns are not always free. Oftentimes you have to pay shipping to return it.

This is only true for third-party sellers, right? I can't recall ever paying for a return for an item I purchased from Amazon.

Why are we talking about this?

I ordered a car part, I received a block of clay. This isn't a problem that is solved by any return policy.

True, but throwing away the block of clay and never even notifying Amazon of any issue surely does less than nothing to solve the problem.

Why exactly is it my responsibility to make up for Amazon's misdeeds?

Why do you keep saying that? You brought the topic up, don't do that if you're just going to get mad and say why are we talking about it over and over.

You became a sucker and helped contribute to others being suckers by doing absolutely nothing after very obviously getting scammed.

I made a mistake by bringing up returns.

The truth is, returns would be irrelevant if Amazon had done their job.
