To which ideals is Amazon's success "repugnant"? It seems to me that Amazon is facilitating demand much better than its competitors, which means, according to the rules of the free market, it should win. Or am I misunderstanding?

Free markets aren't a guarantee that things aren't repugnant (and likely the opposite -- most winners in free markets are repugnant in various ways).

Free markets are a travesty of economics; bring back competitive markets.

The GP said that companies like Amazon are repugnant to free markets. Not to the moral perspective of some third party observer.
