It's because it does not talk about employee bloat, but rather product bloat. There are a lot of teams working on either useless or _duplicate_ products. Amazon is a place where it is frequent to discover that another team is doing pretty much exactly the same thing as you, despite both teams existing for years. My previous team found out that multiple of our products had equivalents built by other people (even one was just an excel sheet made by some random guy :|) and my current team has a table comparing our product with the other 15 equivalent products made by other teams... And then there are a lot of teams working on products that do not and will never bring revenue, such as a big part of Alexa.
