This is only true so long as they are growing. That growth comes from either growth in the end market or by taking market share from competitors.
I don't know the numbers, but I suspect a lot of Amazon's growth will be from taking market share due to lower costs because of those productivity gains.
If this is the case, then those robots are still displacing jobs, just not at Amazon.
