I'm guessing most of their employees already have a wellness chamber that they refer to as 'home'.
Amazon could make it so the pay and working hours they offer their employees allowed them to spend more undisturbed time there.
I suppose wellness chambers are cheaper, though.

An employee might be going through a tough relationship patch, a difficult time with their kids, have a family member staying for a long period of time.

A company that indirectly punishes people for bathroom breaks can only end up abusing such initiative. If this booth is ever widely rolled out, it will eventually be used to weed out "low performers".
