This is a labour rights issue, not an “Amazon is evil” issue.
There's a lot of room for both to be true. There's no need to set up a dichotomy here, especially when you consider Amazon's attempts to curtail unionization [0] and their lobbying to exempt employees from labor protection [1].
At-will employment is a thing because big corporations (like Amazon) have lobbied for it [2].
