No, remote work would not work for Amazon. There is synchronisation cost that you need to pay when working local+remote. For large organisation it is already hard to get anything done (politics/security/bullshit/ego). Cold email/call is really successful strategy. There nothing unusual about getting hundreds of emails. For requiters is better to send 40 cold emails than one crafted and build upon relationship. Finally as a receiver you can still benefit. Because you can send cold responses. You directly ask about compensation. You can instruct requiters to search for specific technology/team/location. There is plenty of more shady uses.. baiting/bidding/spying etc..
