I think these arguments always end up with these kinds of rhetorical questions that then get upvoted because it makes people feel good about the fact that they themselves aren't doing anything to make the world better. To answer your question from my view, yes Amazon is freaking awesome and has made the world better for me. It has saved me literally thousands of hours of doing things I don't enjoy, which are driving and shopping in stores. In exchange I even get a better experience and lower prices! It has also funded TV shows I like, made books and audiobooks easier to access than ever before, made it easier for me to eat healthy foods by allowing me to order fresh food online without owning a car. Also, it has made it easier than ever to start an online business because it pioneered the cloud. I could go on. Just because someone is not doing the exact thing you want them to do doesn't make them bad. There's endless problems to solve, and Amazon decided to solve a subset of them that they deemed important and profitable. It's not like all the problems in the world would be gone without Amazon. Walmart wasn't a shining beacon of hope when Amazon didn't exist, and neither was any other large retailer. Climate change is a big problem, but you can't force people to work on only the things you think are important. I'd rather live in a world where everything goes to shit but we still get to choose what we do with our lives than one where you decide for me what problems I need to dedicate my life to. The government should be providing much higher incentives/disincentives for dealing with climate change, and businesses will solve problems when the incentives line up. Don't expect businesses to shoot themselves in the foot for no reason.
