I am not sure why people think Amazon is such a dominate force on the commerce front, especially with respects to Walarmt. It isn't even close between the two. I am more worried about the cloud technology space being down to basically two choices now.

Amazon has 38% e-commerce market share, Walmart has 5.8%.

Note the key distinction I made: I said commerce in general, not strictly limited to e-commerce.

Especially if you actually care about price. Amazon isn't great.

Or quality, or getting what you actually paid for, or not supporting a wanna-be trillionare technocrat that would rather satisfy his fantasy to colonize mars than treat his warehouse workers humanely or help his neighbors here on earth in general.
