Amazon is quickly moving towards a place where their plumbing/infra is better than their consumer facing product.

That is AWS & Amazon fulfillment.

Amazon shopping site is garbage at the level of peak eBay BS. Video/Music/Alexa are afterthoughts. Kindle is extremely mediocre hardware & software for how long its been around, but they priced out competition. Fire phone. Etc.

It's as if Amazon is really great at building the glue for other people to build their products on top of, but horrible at building products themselves.

Or Amazon is great at recognizing where the profit margins are and staying away from low profit margin/high liability business areas.
