In other words, We just don't care about users that unsubscribe (and why would you, really, you only care about profit) so we (unintentionally, maybe) engineered our systems so that unsubscribing is one of absolute lowest priorities.

Why add a ton of additional work and overhead to serve users that aren't likely to be customers? Makes no sense.

  Seems pretty ironic how much effort was put into sending emails to these users in the first place if they "aren't likely to be customers"

When you want to cancel and Amazon order, do you expect them to chase down the mail truck to the retrieve the package? Not solving nonproblems is how reasonable people operate.

  In this scenario, I never willingly placed the order in the first place. If Amazon started sending me a ton of useless random packages every week, you bet that I'd expect them to have a team of ninjas chase the driver down and forcibly remove my package. Spam and marketing mail should be - needs to be - opt-in and illegal. I would love to have an ACL on my physical mailbox, where all senders I have not explicitly authorized get mail returned to sender at their own cost.
