That's written under the heading "The Urbit future". I presume that it is meant to describe how things would pan out if Urbit is a success.
But how is this vision enforced... or even made likely? Why would powerful monopolies like Amazon submit to this, instead of supplying an app specifically and exclusively for shopping at Amazon?
