There's not really any news here, other than the fact that managing such a huge _and extremely effective_ commercial website is difficult even for one of the most well-resourced tech companies in the world.
If the purpose of an website-that-sells-things is to have carefully tuned UX for every product page, Amazon.com has some small (although hardly 'horrible') UX problems.
