You believe the spirit of what the author meant was that because Jeff Bezos owns a lot of shares in Amazon, he controls the product design for Goodreads? Because otherwise that sentence is a total non sequitor and should have been removed. I'm also a shareholder of Amazon, am I also responsible? I disagree, I think the most likely explanation is that they didn't know he wasn't CEO anymore, and they believed that when he was CEO he micromanaged Goodreads, both of which are mistaken.
