Ok, so In your opinion amazon is “done”. Game complete. From now on it’s megalomania to grow.

This isn’t how the world works. If you don’t develop others will take your place. Amazon is simply the best at this right now.

Even so, as consumers everyone has every right not to buy from amazon. But they do.

Nope, I am not saying cease growing.

From my POV the most productive growth amazon can make as a company would be engaging in better ESG practices There are forms of capital outside of material assets and intellectual property.

Amazon is losing human capital (tbray as a high profile example, but I am sure he's the tip of an invisible and silent iceberg) Amazon is losing brand capital which will hit the bottom line (ethical consumption is an ever increasing trend) Amazon will continue to irk Governments with its lack of respect for sovereignty laws (tax in particular, but also labour and monopoly).
