And I'm sure the stated policy even within Amazon is that a medical issue should be immediately reported and a medic called. If the manager disregarded that policy for whatever perceived or real incentive...then that's still their fault.

This is disregarding reality. If incentives aren't aligned with policy then you'll get bad outcomes. If the company says "report medical issues" and also "no downtime" then you won't always get people reporting issues.
Sure. And it's a problem within the company that amazon will have to fix. But right now, for prosecutors, I can only imagine that the manager will be found criminally liable.
