Sounds like Amazon is trying to use its monopoly position to give it an competitive advantage over smaller stores.
Amazon has nothing even approaching a monopoly. You can go right now to a store built from bricks and purchase goods.

> Amazon has nothing even approaching a monopoly
Sortof? It probably doesn’t have a monopoly in any segment that matters, but it does have many illegal monopolies (as defined by US FCR and the Sherman Act).
Evidence: Amazon has been found guilty of being an illegal monopoly multiple times already.
