I think you're giving people too much credit, I doubt the people were thinking about Amazons HR policies, or any moral or otherwise nuanced socio-economic arguments. That's not to say they're horrible people, well.. maybe just a little greedy and/or without any shame. I know a lot of people that are very religious (or non-religious but 'principled') who will still lie on their resume. Its just a human thing I guess..
