>It's as if Google is bringing Amazon's "one-click" checkout to all Chrome users.

Ah, but you see, it's "two-click" checkout. So we're good, right?

Or "mouse over" checkout. Imagine the conversion ratios!

Believe me, Google can afford that.

Amazon could probably sue users of the API if they wanted to, rather than suing Google.

They could. But Amazon is pretty well loved in the developer community, I doubt they'd jeopardise that and risk hurting AWS.
