If America had proper workers rights and labor laws, suddenly these “superstars” would disappear. I wonder if this is actually true, looking at how much a company like Amazon rakes in. They have cash to spend. They could probably spend it towards living wages & safety measures for their workers & still have a hefty sum left over.

If the US introduced "proper workers rights and labor laws" today Amazon would probably be fine. In fact they might even be better off long term since it would greatly increase barriers to entry for any future competition. The interesting (and unanswerable) question is what Amazon would look like today is those hypothetical "proper workers rights and labor laws" had been in place 20 years ago.
