I largely agree - I have no personal issue with someone earning a lot of money (good for them) and I'm not convinced it comes at the cost of other people's real earnings or living conditions. Indeed Amazon and similar services are very convenient, and allow me to focus my attention on more meaningful things (i.e. Terraria).
I must say though that I do worry about people having enough money to bend the "rules" of the market. I.e. paying for lobbying, having an outsized say on regulation, or wielding influence over politicians to give special tax favors, etc.
The direct problem there has to do with laws, not wealth - but it must be said that increasingly massive wealth does unlock corrupting influence that would be otherwise infeasible.
