But how is it at all relevant to this story? And if it is a vital point, why not get mentioned by the FTC? I don't think there is nothing at all there. However, most of the criticisms you will see in the wild about how AWS pays for retail are almost certainly from ignorance of how retail had to literally seed AWS. And don't take my criticism of that point as some sort of promotion of Amazon. I can be critical of the complaints without having to worship them.
