Even if I am 100% completely in the right, I would be hesitant for fear of retaliation. The MegaCorporations are only getting bigger, and they can have an outsized impact on my life. If I bring a small claims issue to Amazon - will I ever be able to shop there again? Use AWS? That would be a huge burden to try and recover $50.

For similar reason, I can never issue a charge-back to Steam - they have a policy of blocking your account and that would result in losing access to thousands of dollars linked to my profile.

Many megacorps just straight up pay small claims court judgments and don't care. I have actually been told by an insurance company to do that before.
