More companies aren't like Amazon because they want to make a profit. Amazon operates at cutthroat margins, as if it were still a startup sacrificing profitability to grab market share. Once most companies own a solid chunk of the market, their concern shifts from outcompeting everyone else on price to outcompeting everyone else in other areas and fattening their margins in the process.
Amazon is the outlier because Bezos is still in charge, and he's playing the long, long game.
