Amazon could abuse their position (as a big store) by telling makers of competing games, "We're sorry, but we rejected your application to sell your game in our store."
Fortunately, the US has laws against this sort of thing, but they can take years of legal hassle to enforce. Meanwhile, loads of competing game makers are shut out of a big store.
Amazon could diversify into plenty of other things where such conflicts of interest are avoided. (AWS is a good example. Nobody was selling a competing service via the Amazon store.)
