I have a realized this too, but my response has been to explicitly try to shop elsewhere, to spread my dollars around. I've found Amazon often isn't even really that competitive anymore, they're just coasting on people's habits. I also don't want them to end up an unassailable retail monopoly or near-monopoly.
