The condition in this case being you dismissing large parts of that morality because they are supposedly "orthogonal" (to you).
Of course it's going to seem frail to you, if you decide beforehand you will ignore any reasoning behind a moral position.
I'm willing to say it, I don't care about their loss because they are a huge multi national corporation that makes billions. Not a person, but one of those weird gigantic business machines that share our planet now. That's such an incredibly huge power differential between you and another entity, anyone pretending they apply the same moral reasoning to both is truly deluding themselves.
BTW, deluding yourself is for instance, anthropomorphizing an entity made of paper and laws, to "be a good sport" or not. Ridiculous, what does that even mean? You realize this makes about as much sense as being angry at your coffee machine if it breaks? Yes it happens, yes people do it, but no it's not to be taken seriously.
But ultimately what it comes down to is whether Amazon is legally required to fulfill these orders. Because you can give a corporation a legal code, but not a moral code.
If they are not, then that's fine, it's not like the customers had a specific right to buy a $13k camera for $100.
But really you just wrote this to feel good about yourself?

But you're better than that, aren't you? Not being like most people. And just had to tell us about it
