Sure, it's certainly better than nothing. However, it's not really altruistic on Amazon's part. They avoid significant unionization, workplace democratization, or material social change by paying their workers a tiny bit more, while still extracting enormous surplus value from them. Furthermore, when they increased wages they cut benefits.
Regardless, this doesn't invalidate my point. $15/hr is still no where near enough to participate in a lot of these at-home services. I make many multiples of that and find a cleaner + multiple security subscriptions too expensive for my taste.
