You can also wipe your own library in the Amazon account permanently and without any refunds. Or the hacker can do it in a few minutes if your simple 1fa password is compromised. I still use Amazon for books, because really there is nothing like their selection + Kindle, but not because I like them.

I don't get this argument. You can burn your house, but it doesn't mean you should live in a hotel.

The difference is that while I can do it by mistake, Amazon can do it intentionally.

I consider this approach by Amazon insecure. I would much prefer that my purchases be purchased and not possible to delete using a single button in the interface. For example like Steam library. This forces me to treat my account as already lost and it is rather frustrating. I can't buy books proactively, I can't buy games or music there etc.

By the way, when I first stepped in this landmine and went to complain on Amazon forum, regular people also defended this practice. It was even more mindboggling than Amazon actions itself. Like, why would people voluntarily defend strictly negative to them feature, and for free?..
