Why are people getting three deliveries a day from a company that was founded as a bookseller? How many books do they need?

This is like asking why are people buying so much stuff from a company that was founded as compiler/language tool seller. How much compiler do they need.

The above would be Microsoft for context. For some reason your comment assumes that what a company was "founded as" should dictate what they do decades later.

I think you've just explained how compounding wealth made Jeff Bezos rich.
