It seems like this is more of a critique on the tax-code than anything else. By not realizing any gains, and taking a small salary it seems like an exception to the tax code wasn't meant to handle. I think we can all agree that the tax code if full of cruft, and could use some refactoring. Additionally, I would wager any amount of money that Bezos outsources his taxes to professionals. So his name is only used for click bait. I also am confident Bezos paid sales tax, property tax, and other taxes during this period. So if we as a society are not happy with our federal income tax code, we should revise it. (Wouldn't it be amazing if it worked more like an opensource project, where we could git blame and do some root cause analysis)
