Exactly. There's really nothing surprising here. It's a registered trademark, and Amazon is enforcing it in the context that they're allowed to. As you mention, they actually HAVE to enforce it, the law doesn't give them a choice. Even if Amazon wanted to be nice about the domain, they could lose their trademark by choosing not to enforce it.
