Another thing is don't forget that Amazon is a cult of personality. The cult of Bezos. Upper management needs to cater to that cult, and it creates a lot of noise that may or may not be making the product or the company better.

Some of Bezos's urges and reactions are good, some are bad. It's not too much unlike Microsoft.

As a species we can do a better job at running companies!
