That latency is correlated with revenue is not exclusive to Amazon. And many people who aren’t impulse buying will not stick around on slow sites.

Many people on local markets have no choice and will stick around no matter how slow the service is. Evidence: my wife buying our groceries for delivery at home. We have 4-5 choices in our city. All their websites are slow as hell, and I mean adding an item to a cart takes good 5-10 seconds. Search takes 20+ seconds. She curses at them every time yet there's nothing we can do. The alternative is both of us to travel by foot 20 minutes to the local mall and wait on queues. 2-3 times a week. She figured the slow websites are the lesser evil.
