Pretty much everything you buy on Amazon can be bought elsewhere. It might be inconvenient to shop elsewhere but the option is there. Of the big tech companies they are probably the easiest to avoid. Practically everyone will have an Apple/Google phone. You can de-Googlfy or de-Applfy but you can't do both. Facebook, yeah you don't need it. But if you want to see pictures of your nephew and that's where they're posted you don't have much choice. Microsoft you can get away from but pretty much anyone buying a computer has to pay the MS tax (or the Apple tax). Hard to avoid Office, LinkedIn, or GitHub at work as well.
