You really think any company would ignore the New York market (even just the New York affiliate market) over the extra few lines of code required to add a % sales tax to orders with a NY zip code?
If this were Vermont, maybe. But not New York.

When the customer base suddenly starts getting taxes, the 'savings' at Amazon is lower in comparison to other competitors, and so they lose actual customers.
