Amazon defiantly cares about the ~half billion per year in interest they collect collectively on these subscriptions. It’s backed into the annual discount they are willing to give.
Balancing that benefit is the entire point of class action lawsuits. Where one person isn’t going to chase after 2$, a law firm is happy to chase after a slice of x00 million in damages. On the surface X people get some trivial payout, but society is vastly better off when companies can’t illegally nickel and dime people without any consequences.
